Because it is very dark, plan lamps before painting more than one surface. Bright white trim makes the blue-violet edge clearer. But cream trim can dull it. Satin gives millwork a stronger finish.

Emperor 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
6.0LRV 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.
