A balanced medium, cool gray, Whale gets its personality from very balanced undertones. With an LRV of 51, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Software is a near-identical match. Hirshfield's's Subtle Shadow runs close as well.
