cool gray
Bluish neutral tone
Cool gray is a gray with blue or green undertones, as opposed to warm grays that lean toward brown or taupe.
The term appears frequently in design, fashion, and paint selection, where the subtle undertone affects how colors work together: The walls are painted a cool gray that picks up the blue in the rug.
Cool grays tend to feel more modern or clinical, while warm grays read as cozier.
