Valspar
Buttermilk
T568
This bright neutral is not stark. It can look richer at night under warm bulbs. Pair it with soft white rather than blue-white if the goal is a layered cream palette.

Buttermilk 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
71.5LRV 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.
