Shaker Gray

1594

Shaker Gray is a mid-tone gray carrying cool blue undertones that are most visible in rooms with abundant natural light. At an LRV of 25.92, it falls on the darker side of the mid-range and will read heavier in north-facing or dimly lit spaces. The blue influence keeps it from feeling flat or muddy and separates it from warmer gray alternatives.

It pairs directly with White Heron as a clean trim color, while Gray Owl provides a lighter wall transition. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal deepen the palette, and Sea Haze introduces a muted green complement.

Shaker Gray 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.
