M305
At LRV 14, light surfaces keep it readable. Brass and white tile make the color crisp. Weathered wood brings out the deeper, quieter side. Use satin where hands touch. Semi-gloss helps on doors.

Watershed 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
14.2LRV 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.
