Valspar
El Niño
M210
Its comfortable lightness keeps walls open but not blank. Warm wood can balance the coolness. Against creamy trim, the blue-violet undertone becomes easier to see, so test it beside existing doors.

El Niño 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
61.4LRV 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.
