Valspar
Steampunk Gray
V137-3
On walls, the blue comes forward beside cream trim. Clean white sharpens the read. Pair with black steel or pale oak. In dim light, it may flatten into a simple gray-blue, so sample at the darkest time of day.

Steampunk Gray 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
53.9LRV 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.
