Since LRV 7 leaves little reflected light, full walls need a strong lighting plan. Cream trim gives the walls relief. Stone and leather sit naturally beside it. Avoid flat paint in busy spots, because marks will show quickly.

Middle Earth 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
7.5LRV 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.
