BM Revere Pewter - darker accent match?
Comments (7)You know, if you work with Aura colors, the initial PR on them was that they share a particular tone (iirc it's something about the kind of colorant, but someone like funcolors would know more about that) which coordinates them such that they'll all work with each other, supposedly. The game was to pick any three colors from the deck and you'd be able to make a look with them. That's why they were called "Affinity" colors. You might want to look for tones you like in that set of colors and know that they're 'scientifically' designed to be able to play well together. Hope this maybe helps you become less dazed and confused......See MoreSW tursty tan vs BM revere pewter
Comments (2)I think the term you mean is Light Reflectance Value (LRV). I have SW and BM fan decks, and see that Trusty Tan has an LRV of 37. Revere Pewter's LRV is 52.3, and Edgecomb Gray's is 64.6. The higher the LRV, the more light is reflected off the wall. I have linked an online article about LRV written by 'funcolors' who often posts on this board.

Comments (35)Boy, I can relate to all of these posts. I have RP in my open floor plan. On the walls that have natural light, it looks OK (not my favorite) but the adjoining family room with the screened porch next to it blocking the light, the walls look like green/yellow mud and I am stressing as to what to do. My trim & cabinets are off-white so i have to stay with the warm greys. I've even tried Sea Salt which looks dull. I'm going for an LRV of 65+ so I'm trying the sample board with the Repose Gray at 75% with the idea of the adjoining kitchen/nook at 100%. We will see. Next I'll try the Gray Owl - OC 52 i think. Beware.......there are two Gray Owls! The Oc 52 is the lighter version. To complicate matters, I have a beautiful silver gray sectional sofa that I'm working with. I appreciate all of the posts here....See MoreBM Revere Pewter with SW Dorian Gray?
