Capers

T608

Capers is a very dark gray green with an olive-brown undertone. This is not a leafy green. LRV 10 puts it in the light-hungry range, so millwork, shutters, a front door, or a compact room with serious lamps are the strongest uses.

The shade can look handsome with soapstone and old wood. If it goes on all four walls, use contrast at the ceiling line so the room keeps its edges.

Capers 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.

White

LRV 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.
