Midnight In Ny

N440-7

Midnight In Ny is a deep green-gray, more smoky charcoal than true black. It feels compact. Use it for interior doors, built-ins, powder rooms, or a small office with layered lighting.

At LRV 34, it will absorb light and make corners recede. Creamy trim with brass helps show the green undertone. If paired with cool gray floors, it can turn flatter and more industrial.
