Dirty Martini

V174

Dirty Martini is a light warm gray beige with a quiet green undertone. Stone counters can pull the quiet green-gray undertone forward. Dirty Martini works in kitchens, offices, and hallways where greige needs a little more earth.

Bright white trim can push it slightly dingy, so test warmer whites first. Black hardware suits it well. Watch it after sunset, when undertones usually get stronger.
