Bayleaf is a medium, muted warm gray — understated in tone, with balanced undertones. With an LRV of 46, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Messenger Bag is a near-identical match. Hirshfield's's Tankard Gray runs close as well. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
