Cool Gray

7006-10

Cool Gray is a very bright gray-white with a slight green cast. It is best for spaces with already-cool finishes: white tile, pale concrete, quartz, or brushed nickel. Baths, laundry rooms, and modern hallways keep it looking fresh.

Beside warm cream trim, it may turn sharper than expected. Use a cleaner trim white if possible. In low light, it will still read light, but the gray note becomes clearer.

Cool 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.

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.
