Elephant Gray

2109-50

Elephant Gray is a medium gray with violet and brown undertones that add visual depth without shifting strongly toward warm or cool. It has an LRV of 41.5, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance and making it functional in rooms with moderate natural light. This gray works in both main living areas and bedrooms as a grounding wall color.

For same-brand coordination, pair it with Chantilly Lace or Simply White for contrast, Pale Oak for a warm accent, or Soot and Black Beauty for darker trim or cabinetry.
