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.
Lamp Room Gray is what Farrow & Ball calls its 'most traditional blue grey' — a mid-light grey with a soft blue cast that feels older and more settled than a modern cool grey. It takes its name from the rooms where oil lamps were once trimmed and stored.
