Where can I find straight grays?

12 years ago

Where can I find straight gray paints? I looked hard at Sherwin Williams options and they all seem to include an undertone of something. I'm looking for one with an LRV of about 60. Does anyone make this? Or can I provide a hex code and have it made?

All paints have some undertones and these can change in different settings, so even if you find what you think is the perfect color I always get a sample can and paint a large area and see hoe it changes over the course of the day and with yourlight at night. If you want this "true" gray why not get a can of white and a can of black and mix them to see if that is waht you really want. BM owl is a LRV 64.
