Gray Shimmer

7004-9

Gray Shimmer reads as bright warm off-white with a soft gray-beige cast. Not a cold gray. It works well when the trim is already creamy and the room needs a little polish without a strong color.

Use it on walls in living areas with pale oak, linen shades, or travertine. In shadow, the beige side becomes easier to see. Against blue-white trim, it may look slightly aged rather than fresh.

Gray Shimmer 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.
