Beacon Gray

2128-60

Beacon Gray is a light blue-gray with cool undertones that keep it clean. Its LRV of 65.92 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it reads light without appearing white. In warm light it can shift slightly greener.

It is suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms, or offices where a light blue-gray is needed. Pair it with Silver Satin and Classic Gray for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Soft Fern for contrast.
