Mercury Glass
V136-1
Because the undertone is subtle, compare it beside trim and flooring before calling it neutral. Warm lamps may bring out a pink-gray cast. Brushed nickel keeps the edge crisp. Creamy trim can make the gray look slightly dusty.

Mercury Glass 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
61.2LRV 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.
