Limestone

At first glance, Limestone belongs to the neutral family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. Its LRV of 13.1 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Its related shades below reveal where the color harmonizes—and where contrast brings it fully to life.
