Tin Foil

N500-3

Tin Foil is a light neutral gray with barely any chroma, just enough coolness to feel like brushed metal. The color stays calm. It works well on laundry room walls, closet interiors, and cabinets when stark white feels too sharp.

North light may make it cooler, so balance it with warm wood shelves or woven shades. Avoid pairing it with very creamy trim, which can make the gray look a little flat and utilitarian.

Tin Foil 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.
