Fabulous Red
1011-2
This is genuinely dark, so it needs sheen and light to avoid looking heavy. Warm white or dark bronze keeps the palette grounded. Bright cool whites can make it feel harsher.

Fabulous Red 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
7.7LRV 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.
