Valspar

New Ream

V148

New Ream is a bright neutral white built around a faint warm gray cast. It stays clean. Use it for walls, trim, and ceilings if a creamy white would be too yellow.

The color works with both pale wood and cooler stone. On large walls, it may look nearly white until shadows reveal the softness. Pairing it with stark appliance white can make the warmth easier to see.

New Ream 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 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.
