Sueded Gray

M239

Sueded Gray is a pale blue gray with a soft, washed finish. The blue stays airy. It can freshen a bathroom, bedroom, or ceiling without feeling like a baby blue, especially beside white tile.

Cool northern light will make it cleaner and a bit crisper. If the room has beige carpet, sample carefully, because the gray can separate from warmer flooring.

Sueded 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.
