City Storm

4008-2A

City Storm is a medium-dark blue green gray, closer to wet concrete than a pale neutral. It can give an office, mudroom, or exterior accent a strong controlled backdrop. The color is deep enough to need daylight or layered lamps on interior walls.

Warm wood will pull it greener. Cool metal keeps the slate side forward. Use lighter trim so corners and doorways do not disappear.
