Hazy Stratus

4004-1C

Hazy Stratus is a mid gray-beige with a dry, warm cast. It behaves like stone. Use it in an office, entry, or mudroom where a lighter neutral would feel too delicate.

The low saturation keeps it flexible around wood tones. In weak light, it can look a little flat, so add contrast through trim and hardware. It pairs well with off-white walls nearby. Avoid muddy cream trim if the space already leans beige.
