Valspar

Gentry Gray

V133-4

Gentry Gray is a medium greige with a warm taupe-brown base. A medium depth helps it frame white casing without feeling severe. The color suits offices, stair halls, or exterior accents where a standard gray would look too cool.

On full walls, it reads more beige than charcoal. Use it with warm white trim and darker wood. In dim rooms, the depth can make it feel heavier, so test a large board near the floor.

Gentry 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.
