Sherwin Williams

Best Bronze

SW 6160

Big Chill (#D0CEC9) is a cool, light gray with subtle blue undertones and an LRV of 62, reflecting a moderate-to-high amount of light. The blue influence keeps it on the cooler side of the gray spectrum, though it avoids reading overly cold due to a slight warmth at the periphery of its tone. It works well in spaces with ample natural light, where its cool cast becomes most apparent.

Sherwin-Williams Passive and Ice Cube support a tonal gray scheme, while Grizzle Gray and Naval offer deeper contrast points.
