As a medium, muted warm gray, Van brings a warm energy through its evenly balanced undertones. With an LRV of 32, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. Dunn-Edwards offers Black Walnut as a near-identical match, while Valspar's Cabin Plank is also very similar. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
