Across a room, it may read heavier than expected because the value is muted. Soft cream trim helps it. Black frames or oak add structure. Cool lighting can flatten it, so check the sample after sunset.

Big Apple 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
25.0LRV 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.
