Catch of the Day

V122-3

Catch Of The Day is a dark taupe gray with an earthy brown undertone. The name suggests water, but the color is more dock wood than sea glass. It can ground a powder room, office, or exterior accent when charcoal feels too cool.

LRV 12 means it needs contrast and lighting. Pair with warm stone, aged brass, or cream trim. On flat walls, scuffs may show, so consider eggshell in busy spaces.

Catch of the Day 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.
