Sooty Lashes

V113-3

Sooty Lashes is a near-black blue-gray with a charcoal core. It has serious weight. LRV 7 means it belongs where darkness is intentional, such as doors, cabinets, railings, or a media wall.

On broad matte walls, marks and dust may show. Satin helps on trim. Pair with crisp white or pale stone so the blue-gray undertone remains visible instead of reading as flat black.

Sooty Lashes 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.
