Glidden
Nutmeg
PPG1068-6
Because it sits in the mid range, it can look richer across large surfaces than the chip suggests. Warm floors may blend with it, so add contrast through counters or trim. A creamy off-white will soften the edges.
Color Codes
Nutmeg 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
48.2LRV 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.
