Aspen Gray

6004-2A

Aspen Gray is a medium warm gray with a dry beige undertone. It reads practical. Its depth suits an office, mudroom, or exterior accent, especially when lighter neutrals feel washed out.

It may look khaki beside cool whites. Cream trim and oak flooring make the warmth feel intentional. Rooms with limited daylight need a large sample before every wall gets paint.

Aspen Gray 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.
