Mountain Air

CC-636 / 1501

Mountain Air (CC-636) is a warm gray with a subtle green undertone that prevents it from reading as flat or purely neutral. With an LRV of 52.69, it reflects just over half the light that hits it, placing it comfortably in mid-tone territory. The green influence is soft enough to recede in most contexts but may become more visible alongside pure whites or cooler grays.

It coordinates with Cloud White (CC-40) for a warm trim pairing, West Coast (CC-750) for a deeper accent, Chantilly Lace (OC-65) for a high-contrast white, and French Canvas (OC-41) for tonal harmony.

Mountain Air 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.
