About Tranquil Gray
Tranquil Gray LRV and undertone
Behr Tranquil Gray (DC-007) has an LRV of 60, placing it in the light range of paint colors. Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light a surface reflects, with higher values generally producing a brighter appearance. The supplied hex value is #D0CBC0, and the color belongs to the greige family, combining characteristics associated with gray and beige. Its calculated undertone is warm yellow.
Tranquil Gray’s warm undertone can influence how it appears beside cooler grays, crisp whites, or yellow-toned wood. In cooler north-facing light, warm colors may appear less pronounced; stronger, warmer south-facing daylight can make yellow undertones more noticeable. An LRV of 60 offers substantial light reflection while retaining more depth than very high-LRV whites. For a coordinated palette, compare the paint with trim and flooring under the room’s actual lighting rather than relying on a small printed color chip.

Valspar Warm Putty (6006-1A) has a ΔE of 2.3, indicating a close but visible difference. These figures help narrow the choices, but sample testing is still necessary for reliable coordination.
Lighter and darker Behr alternatives
Behr Toasty Gray (N320-2) has an LRV of 61, making it slightly lighter than Tranquil Gray. Behr Aged Beige (PPU7-09), at LRV 63, is also lighter. Behr Dolphin Fin (790C-3) has an LRV of 59, while Behr Chic Gray (PPU26-10) shares an LRV of 60 but has a ΔE of 1.9.
Consider the higher-LRV options when you want slightly more reflected light, or compare Dolphin Fin for a modestly darker result. Because small numerical differences can be difficult to judge on a screen, place painted samples beside your trim and flooring. Check them in daylight and under the artificial lighting used most often in the room.
Before you buy, compare a physical sample with the swatch on Behr’s page for Tranquil Gray.
