Behr
Chic Gray
PPU26-10
In a small hallway, it can read like a soft neutral rather than a statement gray. Strong southern exposure may reveal a faint taupe note. Use it when the room needs quiet walls and the furnishings already provide contrast.

Chic Gray in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
80.1LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
