Midnight Shadow
4004-4C
LRV 8 means it will read very deep after sunset. Use lamps at wall height if painting a whole room. Clean white trim helps the blue show. Warm oak furniture will soften the chill. Matte paint may show every touch.

Midnight Shadow 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
7.9LRV 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.
