Valspar
Tourmaline
V036-1
The blue becomes clearer beside bright white trim, so use a softer white if the room already feels chilly. Natural maple and pale stone keep it casual. Avoid pairing it with heavy yellow beige unless that contrast is intentional.

Tourmaline 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
68.2LRV 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.
