Gauntlet Gray

SW 7019

Gauntlet Gray is a deep warm charcoal with noticeable brown undertones, landing at an LRV of 17. Its low reflectance gives it substantial weight, making it suitable for exterior siding, accent walls, or cabinetry where a rich neutral is needed. Paired with Alabaster or Greek Villa on trim, the contrast is pronounced without becoming stark.

Repose Gray and Dorian Gray serve as lighter wall companions in open floor plans, creating a tonal gradient that reads as cohesive. The brown base prevents it from appearing cold under warm artificial lighting.
