How they read
In their own wordsTundra 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.
Grant 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.
