Valspar

Weathervane

M360

Weathervane is a dark neutral gray with a slight green-blue undertone. The green-blue undertone keeps this charcoal from looking like plain black. Exterior accents, interior doors, cabinets, or a mudroom take it well where scuffs are part of life.

Around LRV 12, it needs contrast and a durable finish. Warm white, galvanized metal, or oak keep it practical. In low light, it moves close to charcoal. Sample beside concrete floors.

Weathervane 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.
