Valspar
Ruby Petals
M223
Natural oak and unlacquered brass suit it well. If used across a larger bedroom, soften the palette with oatmeal bedding and off-white trim. Strong cool light can pull the shade a little more violet.

Ruby Petals 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
15.0LRV 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.
