Swiss Chocolate

At LRV 6, contrast becomes essential. Creamy trim, brass hardware, and a little sheen help the color show its brown character instead of flattening out after sunset.

Swiss Chocolate 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
5.9LRV 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.
