More about Anew Gray
Anew Gray is a mid-tone greige at LRV 47 — deeper and warmer than Agreeable Gray, with enough body to give a room real definition. It's the choice when you want a greige that reads as an actual color rather than a pale backdrop, especially in well-lit rooms.
At this depth it can go noticeably darker in low light, so check it in your own space before a whole-house commit. It pairs well with white trim and warm wood. Behr Grey Mist and Benjamin Moore Silver Fox are its closest cross-brand matches.
