Winter Gray

2117-60

Winter Gray (BM) is a light gray with a distinct violet undertone, blending equal parts gray and purple at an LRV of 61.69. Hex value #D0CDD6 confirms its cool lavender-gray cast, which becomes more pronounced under daylight and may appear slightly warmer under incandescent lighting. The violet shift differentiates it from standard neutral grays.

Recommended same-brand pairings include White Dove, Chantilly Lace, Hale Navy, Misty Blue, and Beach Glass, which collectively support cool-toned palettes while offering options for both soft coordination and bold contrast.
