Valspar
Perfect Backdrop

Because it sits just above the mid range, it can handle open walls without feeling heavy. Pair with creamy trim, white oak, or charcoal metal for a steady palette. Test it against terrazzo.

Perfect Backdrop 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
56.0LRV 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.
