Le Luxe

PPU25-20

Le Luxe is a deep cool gray with a subtle blue-green undertone. The blue-green charcoal note pairs well with oak to avoid a cold read. The color suits cabinetry, interior doors, or outside trim when a softer charcoal is wanted.

On walls, it needs enough light to avoid feeling flat. Pale flooring helps. Clean white trim gives sharper edges. Warm brass or oak can keep the gray from reading too industrial.

Le Luxe 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.
