Frisky Whiskers

V125-3

Frisky Whiskers behaves like a soft taupe-gray carrying a muted mauve cast. The mauve cast is quiet enough for full bedroom walls. The color works when plain gray feels cold but beige feels too yellow, especially in bedrooms or dressing areas.

On a full wall, the pink-gray undertone shows most beside blue-white trim. Warm lamps soften it. Use with linen upholstery or dark stained furniture, and avoid strong yellow accents that can make it look bruised.

Frisky Whiskers 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.
