Equilibrium

T18-20

Equilibrium is a muted green-gray with a deepened teal shadow. It sits at the edge of mid and deep, so good lighting helps it show its color. The green is subdued.

Use it for office walls, built-ins, or a small bath with warm metal. Cream-painted trim, black cabinet hardware, or oak shelves are the safest complements. In cool rooms, it can settle toward slate. Warm materials keep the color from feeling austere.

Equilibrium 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 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.
