Defined by blue-gray undertones, James is a peaceful light, muted cool gray. With an LRV of 59, it keeps spaces feeling open and airy, working well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and coastal-inspired rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Colorhouse's Water .05, an extremely close match. Behr's Rainy Season is another strong alternative.
