Baffin Island

243 / CC-270

Baffin Island is a warm taupe with a slight green undertone that keeps it earthy. Its LRV of 46.12 provides mid-range reflectance, so it holds depth without reading too dark. Warm light brings the green note forward slightly.

It is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a grounded neutral is needed. Pair it with Manchester Tan and Ballet White for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Tarrytown Green for contrast.

Baffin Island 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.
