So... as we're taught in rendering to never use max RGB values (ie; pure white should be somewhere around 200, 200, 200 value, max!) what is the best way to ensure I accurately represent real-life colours in renders?

The reason I ask; I have an interior scene where I'm demonstrating varied wall colours. For example; the paint product "Tikkurila Symphony - F487", has an RGB value of 228 226 218. Obviously it's advised to not use these high values. So, what's the best method to 'downplay' (for lack of a better expression) these values to then accurately represent this colour?

Let's presume I'm using 255,255,255 colour tint and 6500 k white balance with no LUT.

Any tips appreciated. Cheers,
