Behr
Elemental Gray
PPU26-06
Use clean white trim, matte black pulls, or warm wood to keep the room from feeling flat in the surrounding palette. In cool exposure, it may look slightly cleaner. Warm lamps add softness without changing the color much.
Color Codes
Elemental 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.
