Flannel Gray

8004-38F

Flannel Gray is a dark blue-gray with a slate-cool undertone. It feels quiet and heavy. Use it on built-ins, a media room wall, or exterior trim where softness beats black.

Since it is genuinely dark, give it good lighting and pale contrast. Weathered wood and warm white trim suit the depth. In north light, the color can become more charcoal than blue.
