Greige is grey with enough warmth to stop it turning blue in north light. The useful measurement is chroma: below 4 it is simply grey, above 10 the beige takes over. The band in between is what the word actually means.
LRV 60 and up. Open-plan walls, where the color has to work in several exposures at once.
