In cool light, the gray side becomes more visible. Warm bulbs bring out the beige. Build the palette around cream trim or dark bronze. Very blue-gray flooring may make the warmth look slightly muddy.

Koala 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
40.0LRV 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.
