LRV 4 leaves very little reflectance, so use light flooring, mirrors, or lamps nearby. Pair with warm brass or cream stone. In shade, the purple becomes quiet and the charcoal takes over.

Black Currant 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
