Muskeg Grey

4005-2C

Muskeg Grey is a near-black neutral gray with a slight blue cast. It reads close to charcoal. Use it on doors, cabinets, or exterior trim when black feels too absolute.

LRV 6 means full walls need a serious lighting plan. Crisp trim will make it graphic. Warm wood softens the coolness. In matte paint, touch marks can show quickly, so choose a washable finish for busy areas.

Muskeg Grey 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.
