Valspar
Caraway Seed
3005-9C
It is a mid-value shade, so darker hallways may need extra lighting. Mudrooms and offices are good places for it. Creamy trim keeps the earthiness from looking abrupt.

Caraway Seed 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
37.5LRV 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.
