LRV 8 means walls will absorb light quickly. Use a satin finish in touch-heavy areas. Soft white trim shows the edge without glare. Warm wood can bring out the subtle green cast.

Muted Ebony 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
