Valspar
Explorer Green
T616
It will look darker in shadow, so give it pale neighbors. Warm white walls or aged wood sit well beside it. But avoid muddy beige trim. That combination can flatten the green.

Explorer Green 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
23.1LRV 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.
