As a medium, muted warm gray, Diplomat brings a soft energy through its subtle purple undertones. With an LRV of 38, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Curtain Call, an extremely close match. Dunn-Edwards's Pencil Lead is another strong alternative.
