About Pavilion Gray No. 242

Pavilion Gray is a mid-tone gray with subtle blue undertones. It feels particularly at home in modern spaces, where it creates a sense of airiness and spaciousness. This gray is easily combined with Manor House Gray, Dimpse, or Blackened to create a cool, understated look.

Color Impact & Light

Pavilion Gray brings calm and openness to any room and forms the perfect base for changing decor. Due to its high pigmentation, the tone changes with the daylight: softer in the morning, deeper in the evening.
