Valspar
Dear Melissa

Since it is very reflective, surrounding colors will bounce into it. The cleanest match is white tile, warm wood, or muted blue for balance. Give Dear Melissa a full day of changing light.

Dear Melissa 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.
