Luxe Gray

8005-4C

Luxe Gray is a warm greige, closer to stone taupe than a cool silver. It has a beige center. This makes it useful in open living areas with mixed woods or tan flooring.

It will not give a crisp gallery-gray look, especially under warm bulbs. Pair it with off-white trim and textured linen for a calm direction. If nearby counters are icy white, sample first because the warmth may look dusty.

Luxe 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.
