Goose Feathers

8006-2B

Goose Feathers is a light gray with a warm beige cast. It stays neutral. Use it when a room needs a quiet wall color that will not turn icy.

Bedrooms, offices, and open halls can all handle it. The warmth helps with wood floors, but it still reads cleaner than tan. Pair with off-white trim. Cool LEDs can make it flat, so check that before painting everything.

Goose Feathers 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.
