Stormy Skies

Weak light may turn it more charcoal. Clean trim sharpens the edge. Natural wood adds warmth. Test beside existing gray flooring, because close grays can clash when their undertones differ.

Stormy Skies 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
29.0LRV 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.
