Valspar
Sweet Mulled Cider
V050-5
Use it on furniture, doors, or a cozy den accent where a caramel note is welcome. The shade pairs well with cream walls and black iron. In darker corners, it gets heavier fast. A satin finish can keep the color from looking flat.

Sweet Mulled Cider 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
19.4LRV 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.
