Gravel Drive

T561

Gravel Drive is a light warm gray with a beige stone undertone. The beige-stone undertone handles busy hallways without feeling cold. The color can cover hallways, mudrooms, or open living spaces without making the room cold.

It has enough depth to show against white trim. Pair with black hardware and natural wood. Little daylight can flatten warm grays, so use a larger sample on the shaded wall.

Gravel Drive 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.
