With cleanly balanced undertones, Light Lichen is a easygoing light, muted warm gray. With an LRV of 72, it works beautifully as a whole-home color, adding warmth to kitchens and living spaces. The closest cross-brand match is MPC's Gold Dust Prl over Hot Plata, a near-identical match. Sherwin-Williams's Analytical Gray is another strong alternative. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
