Kalispell

PPG0998-3

Kalispell is a warm gray-beige with a stone-like cast. It reads more neutral than colorful, which suits hallways, rental-friendly living rooms, and cabinetry where a strong undertone would be risky. The light-mid value suits stair halls and long rooms that need softness.

It will not bounce light like an off-white, so small rooms need adequate lamps. Ground it with charcoal, cream, and medium wood.

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.
