Valspar
Bayou Shade
6006-3C
At room scale, the olive undertone becomes easier to see. Cream trim and dark bronze suit it; woven shades also work. Avoid very cool whites, because they can make the green-gold base look muddy.

Bayou Shade 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
52.0LRV 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.
