Using slate gray in your home

Slate Gray suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry cabinets, porch ceilings, and exterior trim because it bridges gray and blue. North light can make Raw Mist and Marengo look cooler. South light warms the gray and keeps it easier. Pair with warm white, putty, oak, black metal, or muted terracotta. Avoid icy white trim if the slate already leans blue. The room can feel chilly fast.
