Half Dome

Half Dome Technical Profile

What color is PPG Half Dome (PPG0994-3)? It's a medium cool gray — hex #BBBCB8, LRV 50. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Half Dome is Dutch Boy Fair-Minded Gray — a near-identical match on the wall, with Benjamin Moore Coventry Gray and Kilz Streamlined Silver also close. At LRV 50, Half Dome sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. As a cool neutral, Half Dome pairs with cool whites for trim, gray-toned or rift-cut oak floors, and brushed nickel or polished chrome hardware. Black accents and natural greenery add contrast. At mid depth, Half Dome grounds a space without darkening it — it holds up on lower walls, kitchen islands, and as a wraparound where a lighter neutral would feel washed out. Cool neutrals hold their crisp quality under 4000K+ daylight bulbs. Under 2700K warm light they soften considerably — particularly true for any blue or green undertone. At mid depth Half Dome holds its character across bulb temperatures, shifting only slightly warm under 2700K and slightly crisper under cool daylight.
