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.
Silver Metallic is a Meoded decorative plaster rather than a flat paint — a pewter-toned finish with a pearl sheen that shifts as you move through the room. In daylight it reads as a soft warm grey; at night, with candles and lamps, it glimmers like brushed metal.
