Loire Valley

V060-6

Loire Valley is a deep mossy olive with a yellow-brown undertone. It feels quiet and serious. Built-ins, exterior shutters, or a study wall let the depth work in the room's favor.

LRV 14 keeps it dark, so add pale contrast and layered lamps. Warm white, leather, or stone adds the right amount of contrast. In shade, it may read closer to brown-green.

LRV 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.
