Valspar
Metropolis
4005-1C
The color can read flat if the room relies on one overhead fixture. Add side lighting before judging it. Black frames and white trim sharpen the palette. Warm wood keeps the room from feeling too cold.

Metropolis 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
41.0LRV 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.
