Sabre Gray

1482

Sabre Gray is a cool-leaning mid-tone gray with subtle blue-green undertones and an LRV of 38.23, placing it in the middle of the reflectance scale where it reads neither light nor dark. The blue-green cast becomes more visible against warm-toned surfaces and less apparent when surrounded by other cool neutrals. It maintains a steady appearance across both natural and artificial light.

Coordinate it with Benjamin Moore White Diamond for a clean contrast, Stonington Gray for a tonal neighbor, Silver Marlin for analogous depth, Hale Navy as a darker anchor, and Revere Pewter to introduce controlled warmth.
