Winterwood (BM) is a gray-green neutral with undertones that shift between gray, green, and beige depending on lighting conditions. Its hex value is #C1BFB1 and its LRV is 50.95, placing it squarely in the mid-range of the reflectance scale. The green undertone is subtle and may appear more pronounced under natural daylight.

Winterwood 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.
