Bone China

CC-426 / 1003

Bone China is a warm gray with a faint pink undertone. The LRV of 64.69 keeps it light enough for whole-room use while maintaining a soft gray read. It can be used in bedrooms, living rooms, or open plans that need a warmer gray.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist and Edgecomb Gray for adjacent walls, and with Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for contrast; White Dove or Simply White can be used on trim.

Bone China 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.
