About Collingwood
Collingwood (OC-28) LRV and undertone
Benjamin Moore Collingwood (OC-28) has an LRV of 61.52, a light depth, and a greige color family with a warm yellow undertone. Light Reflectance Value indicates how much visible light a paint color reflects. At 61.52, Collingwood reflects a moderate amount of light, making it lighter than many mid-depth colors but less reflective than white paint. Greige combines characteristics of gray and beige, so surrounding finishes can influence which side appears more prominent. Its calculated warm undertone may become clearer beside cooler grays. North-facing light can emphasize cool contrasts, while southern light often brings out warmth. Test samples beside flooring and trim to see whether the color works with the room’s existing palette.
Collingwood in other brands
PPG Whiskers (PPG1025-3) has an LRV of 60.0 and a ΔE of 0.5, indicating a near-identical measured match. Valspar Heritage Gray (7007-24), also at LRV 60.0 with ΔE 0.8, is another near-identical option. Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) has an LRV of 60.0 and a ΔE of 0.8, making it similarly close. Behr Tranquil Gray (DC-007), with an LRV of 60.0 and ΔE of 0.9, is also near-identical by the measured difference. ΔE describes the color distance between two samples: under 1 means near-identical, 1–2 means very close, 2–4 means close but visibly different side by side, and above 4 means only similar. Although these alternatives compare closely numerically, lighting and sheen can still make their appearance differ on a wall.
