# Behr Pencil Point

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-pencil-point](https://plan-home.com/color/behr-pencil-point)

Behr Pencil Point PPU18-02 is a deep, muted gray with a subtle cool cast that keeps it from reading flat or brown. Its medium-dark depth gives walls definition without the near-black effect of a true charcoal. In daylight, Pencil Point can show a restrained blue-gray edge, while evening lighting brings out its quieter, more grounded gray character. Use it for a study, dining room, exterior trim, or lower cabinetry paired with soft white walls, pale oak, brushed nickel, and clean black details.
