As a light, warm gray, Proper Gray brings a soft energy through its a nearly neutral base. With an LRV of 66, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For a cross-brand equivalent, Hirshfield's's Smoky Wings is an extremely close match. MPC's Grey Haven runs close as well.
