More about Gray Screen
Gray Screen is a light, cool gray at LRV 59 — a soft true gray with a gentle blue base that keeps a room feeling fresh and modern. It's a clean, low-commitment gray for people who want gray to read as gray, not greige, without going dark.
Its cool base reads slightly bluer in north light, so it's happiest with warm or balanced light. It pairs with cool whites and modern finishes. Behr Burnished Metal and Benjamin Moore Pelican Gray are its closest cross-brand matches.
