Fait Accompli
V141-6
Walls will need strong lamps and pale contrast at the ceiling. Satin finish helps the color show depth. Warm white or unlacquered brass prevents an airless result. In weak light, it can read almost black.

Fait Accompli 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
2.8LRV 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.
