Valspar
Best of Both Worlds
8001-38F
With LRV 17, it still sits in the deep range. White grout makes the blue-green snap. Warm wood makes it friendlier. Avoid busy multicolor patterns nearby because the paint already has plenty of movement.

Best of Both Worlds 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
17.0LRV 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.
