Valspar
Dorian Gray
T511
Because it sits around LRV 22, it brings more depth than many grays. Warm metals keep it grounded. Check it beside art, especially pieces with clean whites.

Dorian 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
22.2LRV 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.
