Cracked Pepper presents as a medium, neutral gray with very balanced undertones and a timeless mood. With an LRV of 32, it creates a calm, cohesive feel in open-concept spaces, hallways, and bedrooms alike. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dunn-Edwards's Cavernous is a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Cheating runs close as well. It complements both bright whites and charcoal grays, making it easy to build a cohesive palette around.
