Yes, a lot will depend on your lighting (type and direction of windows, types of lights and bulbs, etc., etc.)

One quick way to compare & contrast is to take both paint chips and lay them next to each other on a sheet of typing paper. Do this outside on a sunny day, and it's even easier to tell.

Not sure of the effect you're going for. But check the difference in the LRV to see if there is enough contrast and if they have the same "undertones".

(Baby's Breath has a LRV of 81.5; Chantilly Lace's LRV is 90.4).

It also depends on the style of your house.

Our house is more traditional. We used Edgecomb Grey (LRV 63.09) for the walls and BM Vapor (LRV 81.6) for all the trim. Both have warm "undertones".

It doesn't matter who used it or where. All that matters is how it looks in your space , with your lighting, your floors and your furnishings.

Roll a huge poster board with the color, tape it up and move it around.

Is there another, better way? No.

Yes I am aware of how lighting and furnishings affects spaces as I stated in my post. Just looking for feedback from anyone that may have used it. geez….

thanks mary. Yep… the paintchip / paper tip i ise often and is helpful for anquick reference.

Yes, what you stated abour LRV is all on point. i read alot abour it. I had read that one should aim for an LRV differential of at least 3 for a light contrast. with the differential of BB and CL, it will be subtle, which is okay with me.

i also have esgecomb gray in my home; in my bedroom. it also goes by the name baby fawn ( hate when BM has 2 names for the same color). its a pretty taupe color in my room. ive had it a number of years now, and will probably repaint it next year a different color, but ive been happy wirh it

Sometimes I can find rooms with a lesser known paint color if I search specifically on Instagram or Pinterest - might be worth a try

The best "feedback" is your own setting. Sorry if that answer is "wrong" but there is no home that is exactly YOUR home.

Great idea La La… i havent checked thise out in a while, but you're right. they always have lots of pics and posts to see. thanks for the tip and reminder! i will check it out. I fully understand the points made , however i would love to see pics of a full room painted and see no harm in doing so.

Less rigidity and disgruntlement on pinterest as well.

Ran across the post where they used it https://danielapluviati.com/2017/01/30/babys-breath/

Yep! i found this one and this one too

appreciate the suggestion to look elsewhere

you were spot on

LRV (Light Refelective Value) has only one purpose.

It tells how much light is reflected back from the surface of a colour as a %.

The higher the % the more light is reflected.

LRV explains nothing about to which Hue Family a colour belongs.

Nor about where, in its Hue Family, a colour sits.

LRV tells us nothing about how much chroma (degree of colour), a particular paint colour possesses.

Value is a much better indicator of how light a paint colour actually *looks.*

There are different colour attributes to do certain colour descriptor jobs.

Hue Family. Value. Chroma. LRV.

LRV is only one small aspect of understanding a colour’s character.

I had read that one should aim for an LRV differential of at least 3 for a light contrast.

This is tragically tragic misinformation about LRV.

Subtracting LRV values, whether is 3 or 10, tells you nothing about how different colors look compared to each other.

And the random "3" is just silly (don't aim to sound harsh, it's just the truth)

A +/- of 3 is a reasonable, standard, expected margin of error when measuring/calculating LRV. That degree of granular accuracy and consistency just doesn't happen. Certainly not from paint brand to paint brand and, frankly, it's not reasonable to expect it within a single paint brand.

And 100% agree with @Marylee H.
