Metropolis
Metropolis begins as a grey color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. An LRV of 51.8 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
