Horizon Gray

T642

Horizon Gray is a bright blue-white with a pale sky-gray cast. The pale blue-white cast helps ceilings and bath walls feel cooler than cream. The color works in baths, laundry rooms, or ceilings where a cool lift makes sense.

On walls, it may look nearly white until placed beside cream or wood. That comparison reveals the blue. Use it with crisp trim and cool tile. In north light, sample carefully because the color can feel sharper than expected.

Horizon Gray 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.
