   Love your blog! I have rarified air up on multiple walls in my open space living room/dining room as a sample. I am worried the LRV is so high it almost looks day glow! Have you seen this before ?

     Thanks, Amanda! Rarified Air does have a high LRV, meaning it is considered “light” and will bounce around more light in your space. It also has a slight blue undertone which may be why it looks like day glow now that it is up on the walls.

     Sounds like in your lighting, you need a color that is a bit more saturated (lower LRV) to absorb some of the natural daylight. I might also consider a color that has more warmth in it. Even if you do want to go with a gray or gray-blue, there are several out there that are considered “warm grays” that don’t feel too cold. Let me know if I can help you nail down the right color for your space through an Interior Color Consult!

     I included your question in a blog post and you can see it here: Hey Laura! Is Colonnade Gray the right Choice for my Open Space?

     Thanks so much!
