More about Edgecomb Gray
Edgecomb Gray is the easygoing greige — lighter and softer than Revere Pewter (LRV 63), with enough warmth to feel cozy but enough gray to stay current. It's the “can't go wrong” neutral for people who find Revere Pewter a touch dark or Agreeable Gray a touch flat.
Its lightness makes it forgiving in rooms that don't get much sun, where deeper greiges can go muddy. It pairs with both warm and cool whites and most wood tones. Behr Stonewashed is a near-identical match, and Sherwin-Williams Dumpling is very close.
