How they read
In their own wordsPelican Gray is a light, silvery grey with a clear blue lean — cooler than the greiges that dominated the last decade, and all the better for it. At LRV 59 it is light enough for a small room and grey enough to feel deliberate. It is the grey of a slate roof after rain.
Accessible Beige (SW 7036) leans further into beige than most greiges, with a soft brown-gold base that reads warm and grounded. At an LRV near 58 it's a hair deeper than Agreeable Gray, giving rooms a cozier, more traditional feel.
