Glidden
Medieval Forest
PPG1230-7
Use warm white trim and brass so the room avoids a cold cast. In dim rooms it can close down quickly, so plan for sconces or lamps before choosing it for all walls. Velvet upholstery or dark stained wood can hold its saturation.

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
38.4LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
