Gargoyle

8004-26E

Gargoyle is a deep gray-beige with an olive stone cast. It has grit. Exterior trim, interior doors, or a study wall can feel grounded with it instead of full charcoal.

LRV 27 keeps it on the deep side, so it needs contrast. Warm off-white trim gives the stone undertone a softer contrast. Black accents make it crisper. In north-facing rooms, test a larger board because the green-gray undertone can look cooler.

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.
