Granite Fog

8006-8C

Granite Fog is a medium blue-gray with a misty slate undertone. It feels cool. Use it for bedrooms, baths, or built-ins when gray needs a bit of color.

The mid value gives walls definition without going fully dark. Warm wood balances it. White trim keeps the slate cast clear. In north light, the blue can feel stronger, so balance it with warmer fabrics or brass.
