Valspar

Glen Plaid

V118-3

Glen Plaid is a deep warm gray carrying an olive-beige cast. It feels woolen. The color works on doors, built-ins, or a small media room where a softer charcoal is useful.

At LRV 18, full walls need good lamps. Textured fabrics suit it. Use warm white on trim. Cool daylight can make it look more neutral gray, but the warmth returns beside wood.

Glen Plaid 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.
