Is Colonnade Gray warm or cool?
Colonnade Gray is a balanced greige with a cooler tilt than most of its popular peers. The undertone is a subdued gray-beige, with the gray usually winning. At an LRV of approximately 53, it sits comfortably mid-light, substantial without darkening a room. It adapts to both warm and cool palettes better than beigier greiges, which is why it shows up so often on exteriors.
Why does Colonnade Gray look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #C6C0B6 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Colonnade Gray have?
Colonnade Gray has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 53, meaning it reflects about 53% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
