Baltic Gray

1467 / AC-29

Baltic Gray is a mid-tone gray with greige undertones that keep it balanced between warm and cool. Its LRV of 44.0 gives it moderate depth, so it reads steady on broad walls. In cool daylight the gray note becomes more pronounced.

It is suitable for living rooms, offices, or hallways where a mid-tone neutral is needed. Pair it with Balboa Mist and Classic Gray for tonal continuity, and add Chelsea Gray or Hale Navy for contrast.

Baltic Gray 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.
