Valspar
Cadet Gray
4001-2A
Aged brass brings warmth to the mauve-brown cast. In northern light, the cool gray side can take over. Sample beside flooring, because undertones matter here on large surfaces.

Cadet Gray 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
23.5LRV 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.
