In afternoon sun, the orange-gold side can show strongly. Use ivory trim with it, then bring in natural wood. Blue-white accents may make it look more peach. Test beside countertops, since cool quartz can create a sharper contrast than expected.

Amber Waves 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
63.6LRV 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.
