Annapolis Gray

HC-176 / 996, CC-456, AC-31, PM-14

Annapolis Gray is a warm-leaning neutral with an LRV of 50.72, which means it sits near the midpoint of the light-reflectance scale and neither brightens nor darkens a room significantly on its own. Its undertone carries a faint pinkish-beige warmth that separates it from cooler grays and keeps it from reading flat. White Dove and Classic Gray work as lighter companions on trim and ceilings, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green can anchor lower walls or built-in cabinetry.

Revere Pewter and Manchester Tan extend the neutral range in open floor plans.

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.
