How they read
In their own wordsGrant Beige balances beige and grey in nearly equal measure — the textbook greige. A slight yellow-gold undertone adds warmth, while the grey content keeps it from ever reading sweet or sandy. It is the safe, sophisticated neutral that anchors a whole-home palette.
Late Wheat is a muted golden yellow with enough tan and green in it to stay quiet — the color of a field in September rather than a lemon. At LRV 47 it sits mid-tone, so on cabinetry it reads as a real color without ever shouting, and it has none of the acidity that makes most yellows hard to live with.
