How they read
In their own wordsGray Envelope is a light, warm greige from Behr's Designer Collection — Behr likens it to 'wrapping yourself in a light woolen shawl' and files it, tellingly, under yellow. At LRV 64 it is bright enough for large spaces and warm enough to feel welcoming.
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.
