SW 6174

Winter Solstice (hex #B9BFBE) is a mid-toned cool gray with a subdued blue undertone. Its LRV of 50.66 places it near the center of the reflectance scale, giving it enough weight to define a space while still reading as a medium-light tone. The blue shifts forward under daylight and recedes under warm incandescent lighting.

Benjamin Moore's Nimbus Gray and Silver Half Dollar pair closely in value and temperature for a cohesive gray palette. Chantilly Lace works as a crisp trim white alongside it, and deeper tones like Hale Navy or Black Beauty can be used to establish contrast.

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.
