Its medium-light depth keeps it present on a wall without reading overly dark, while the restrained saturation gives it a gently weathered appearance. Cool daylight brings out the blue-green side of the color, whereas warmer lamps can make its gray base more apparent.

It also pairs well with warm off-whites and natural linen fabrics to keep the overall palette from feeling too cool.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 33.99%, 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.
