Biro Blue

LRV 12 makes it dark enough to need contrast. White trim defines it clearly. Brass or warm wood keeps it from feeling too cold. Flat finishes may show every rub mark.

Biro Blue 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
12.0LRV 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.
