Puritan Gray
At first glance, Puritan Gray belongs to the gray family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A green undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
