Ashley Gray

HC-87 / 1544, AC-36

Ashley Gray is a mid-toned neutral defined by its taupe undertones, registering an LRV of 33.45 that places it in the middle of the light-to-dark spectrum. It reads warm in cooler lighting and more neutral under direct daylight. The taupe base prevents it from leaning too cool or too warm, keeping it stable across wall expanses.

White Dove and Revere Pewter pair naturally with it on trim and cabinetry, while Kendall Charcoal provides a deeper accent. Palladian Blue introduces a controlled color contrast in adjacent spaces.
