Classic Gray
At first glance, Classic Gray belongs to the white family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A yellow undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. The manufacturer marks it as a best-selling color, though the most important test is still how it feels in your own room.
