Which should you pick
Rules of thumb computed from the LRV and Lab values in the table above; no room test was done.
- Pick Rodeo (BM 1534) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 4.8 LRV points lighter (59.8 vs 55.1), so it bounces back more of the limited light
- Pick Rodeo (BM 1534) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is 5.8 against 7.6, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
- Pick Revere Pewter (BM HC-172) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 7.6), which counters cool indirect light
