More about Argos
Argos is a clean, cool mid-gray at LRV 51 — a true gray with a soft, balanced character that avoids both the warmth of a greige and the chill of a steely blue-gray. It's the choice for a no-nonsense, modern gray that gives a room gentle definition.
It holds its neutral character fairly well across lighting, leaning slightly cool in north light. It pairs with white trim and both warm and cool accents. Behr Gull Gray is a near-identical cross-brand match, with Benjamin Moore Coventry Gray close behind.
