Valspar
Illuminate Me
V017-3
Across full-room walls, it will reflect warm light onto nearby surfaces. Keep surrounding colors simple. A crisp casing line helps the mustard yellow look intentional instead of spilling into nearby neutrals. Deep blue or charcoal can steady the yellow. Sample in direct sun, where the color may feel strongest.

Illuminate Me 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
52.9LRV 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.
