Valspar

Grey Suit

4004-2A

Grey Suit is a deep neutral gray with almost no obvious undertone. It means business. Use it on doors, cabinetry, or a media wall where a lighter gray would look weak.

LRV 22 puts it in the deep range, so whole rooms need intentional lighting. It can look slightly green beside blue whites and slightly brown beside warm beige. A crisp white ceiling line keeps the finish looking clean.

Grey Suit 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.
