- Warm grey shades are versatile and provide a neutral canvas for your interior design. They seamlessly complement any style, whether it's Victorian, Scandinavian, or Modern.
- To prevent a space from feeling too monotonous, consider pairing warm light shades with richer tones like deep greens or browns, or adding textures through fabrics and furnishings. Avoid using them in rooms with limited natural light, as they may appear too dull or yellowish
Act like a pro: Mixing warm and cool shades is a must have to get harmonius interior. Add accents that contrast with the primary color to create visual balance. If your walls are a warm color, don’t forget to add accent in cold colors (furniture, art, décor). A good practice is too use a complementary color scheme.

LRV of Absolute White
Absolute White has an LRV of 93% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 93%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you’ll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
