How they read
In their own wordsAnalytical Gray is a Sherwin-Williams greige with a decidedly warm, beige lean — closer to a light taupe than to a grey. At LRV 47 it is a comfortable mid-light neutral that holds its colour in both bright and dim rooms.
Clay is a Little Greene mid-stone neutral with more ochre than its predecessors — warm, sandy and quietly elegant. It is the colour of dried river clay: not quite beige, not quite yellow.
