Iron Frost

4007-2B

Iron Frost is a deep steel blue softened by charcoal gray. LRV 16 puts it firmly in the dark range, so it needs real lighting to avoid looking flat. The color suits a media room, built-ins, or exterior shutters better than a dim hallway.

Satin finish helps on doors. Warm white trim or pale stone gives the gray-blue surface enough relief.

Iron Frost 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.
