Meteorological

N430-6

Meteorological is a deep gray-green with a blue undertone, close to a stormy eucalyptus color. The blue-green gray behaves more like a moody neutral than a fresh sage. It can handle cabinets, built-ins, a den, or an exterior accent where a darker neutral with color would help.

At LRV 41, it needs decent light on full walls. Cream trim brings out the eucalyptus side without chilling the room. Black metal makes it sharper. In shaded rooms, the green can retreat and leave a moody charcoal effect.

Meteorological 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.
