A calm light, cool blue, Pale Shale gets its personality from neutral undertones. With an LRV of 81, it keeps spaces feeling open and airy, working well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and coastal-inspired rooms. The most similar option from PPG is Debonaire, a near-identical match. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
