Defined by evenly balanced undertones, Gale Force is a quiet deep, cool neutral. With an LRV of 26, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Behr's Sled is an extremely close match. PPG's Midnight Hour runs close as well. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
