Red Gumball
PPG1187-7
Across every wall, this red will dominate and needs strong trim contrast. White makes it sharper. Warm cream softens it. Sample at full size, because saturated reds often look calmer on the chip than they do in paint.

Red Gumball 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
32.4LRV 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.
