The difference

Read from the numbers

Tundra is the lighter of the two at LRV 77.07, 18.8 points above Repose Gray at LRV 58.22. Repose Gray leans warm where Tundra reads cool. Repose Gray is a beige, Tundra a white. For a whole room, Tundra is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Repose Gray is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Repose Gray (SW 7015) is the gray for people who want gray — not greige — but don't want it cold. A quiet warm undertone keeps it from going icy, while it still reads more gray than beige. LRV sits around 58.

Tundra is the off-white for people who find most whites too creamy. Its LRV of 77 puts it in soft-white territory, but the base is a cool, faintly green-blue grey, so it reads clean and quiet rather than warm. On plaster mouldings and in rooms with a lot of daylight it looks like fresh air.
