More about Abalone
Abalone is a soft, warm greige-taupe at LRV 63 with a faint violet-gray shimmer that gives it a quiet elegance. It's a light, livable neutral for people who want something a little more nuanced than a plain greige — gentle enough for bedrooms, refined enough for a whole house.
Its subtle violet base can surface in cool light, so it's worth sampling against your trim. It pairs with both warm and cool whites. Its near-identical Sherwin-Williams match is Grey Heron, with Behr Toasty Gray close behind.
