Some people describe it as violet-gray, lavender, maybe even a pale plum-brown.

In a balanced quality of light Repose Gray SW 7015 is going to look like a near neutral warm gray, it could possibly have moments of peachy-pinkish overtones.

You will find many who have used Repose Gray SW 7015 and insist that it has “no undertones” it’s just a “gray”. While others will report that it looks full on purple.

That’s because of its hue family and because it’s a low chroma color. How -or if- it shifts or shows moments of overtones is determined by the light.

The light is boss.

Paint a sample board so you can move the color around the room. I recommend Swatch Right Paint-Peel-and-Stick Color Sample Decals.

Don’t choose the best lit wall in the whole room and test it in that one spot directly on the wall, you have to move this one in and out of the shadows.
