Ebony Keys

8006-2G

Ebony Keys is a near-black charcoal with a warm brown-gray undertone. It reads softer than true black. Use it on furniture, doors, or exterior shutters when sharp contrast would look too severe.

Full walls need lamps at several heights. The warmth helps it sit beside brick or dark wood. But it still eats light. Choose satin for trim or cabinets to keep fingerprints manageable.

Ebony Keys in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
