Mission Control

N530-5

Mission Control is a medium gray carrying a cool blue cast and a clean, utilitarian feel. The shade can serve cabinets, office walls, interior doors, or a modern bedroom where beige would feel out of place. The LRV sits near 51, so it gives real contrast without feeling dark.

Balance it with warm wood, white trim, and black hardware. Cool lighting can make it read steelier.
