LRV 7 keeps it firmly in dramatic territory. Cream walls, leather, and muted greens work naturally around it. In a small room, consider sheen and lighting before covering every wall.

Buckeye 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
7.0LRV 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.
