Gray Silt

6002-1C

Gray Silt sits in the mid range as a sandy gray-taupe. It has grit. The color suits entries, home offices, or mudroom walls where a pale neutral would show every mark.

Its yellow-brown undertone helps it connect to stone floors and older woodwork. In cool daylight, expect a drier gray cast. Use a clean warm white on trim. Very creamy whites can make the wall color look more khaki.
