Coventry Gray

HC-169

Coventry Gray is a cool-leaning medium gray with subtle green-blue undertones that emerge depending on the light source. It has an LRV of 48.18, placing it near the midpoint of the reflectance scale — deep enough to anchor a room, yet light enough for full wall coverage without feeling heavy. It reads crisp and tailored, making it a strong option for cabinetry, trim, or main walls in transitional and modern interiors.

Pairing it with Chantilly Lace or Simply White produces a clean, structured contrast. For added depth, it layers well alongside Hale Navy or Wrought Iron.
