Mauving Up
V078-5
LRV 15 means the room needs more than overhead light. Cream trim will keep the mauve from feeling too muddy. Pair it with linen shades or aged brass. Blue-white trim can make the undertone look bruised.

Mauving Up 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
15.0LRV 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.
