Gibraltar

SW 6257

Gibraltar is a deep cool gray with blue undertones, carrying an LRV of 14 that places it among the darker neutrals. It reads as a weighted, slate-like tone suitable for exterior siding, accent walls, cabinetry, and built-in shelving. Alabaster and Greek Villa on trim provide clean, warm contrast that offsets the blue base.

Morning Fog functions as a lighter wall companion in adjacent rooms, maintaining tonal continuity without the same visual weight. Serious Gray pairs as a mid-tone bridge in transitional spaces, easing the shift from dark to light surfaces.

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.
