PPG1079-7
Cream trim and antique brass suit it, but the room still needs layered lighting. In a small room, the brown will close in faster than the chip suggests. Limestone makes the orange undertone look drier.
Color Codes
Molasses in Different Light
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
35.5LRV 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.
