At first glance, Mineral Gray belongs to the blue family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. A muted saturation softens the hue, giving it a quieter quality that can sit comfortably among layered neutrals. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
