City Shadow

CSP-60

City Shadow is a dark gray with subtle brown undertones and a low-chroma profile. With an LRV of 13.93, it reads deep and absorbs light. It suits offices, media rooms, or accent walls where a grounded gray is needed.

Balboa Mist and Revere Pewter provide lighter neutral balance. Chantilly Lace sharpens trim, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green add darker contrast.

City Shadow 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.
