Early presents as a light, muted cool gray with cleanly balanced undertones and a subdued mood. With an LRV of 81, it lends a tranquil quality to any room, from master bedrooms to spa-like bathrooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Vista Paint's Where there is Smoke is a near-identical match. Sherwin-Williams's North Star runs close as well. It complements both bright whites and charcoal grays, making it easy to build a cohesive palette around.
