Magnet Dapple

4007-4A

Magnet Dapple sits between slate blue and charcoal gray. The blue is quiet. It can work on office walls, mudroom cabinets, or exterior shutters when black feels too severe.

At LRV 16, it needs light for the color to show instead of flattening. Use clean white trim for contrast. Warm wood brings out the gray side. Test the sheen, because dark blue-gray marks easily in flat finishes.

Magnet Dapple 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.
