Intellectual is a medium, warm gray with very balanced undertones that give it a balanced quality. With an LRV of 36, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Valspar offers Porch Step as a near-identical match, while MPC's Deep River is also very similar.
