Valspar

Mountain Smoke

6004-2B

Mountain Smoke is a deep taupe gray with a warm brown undertone. It feels smoky and weathered. Use it on cabinets, built-ins, or a den wall if a room needs substance but not black.

The shade looks good with brass and stone. In dim light, it can become quite heavy, so keep ceilings and trim lighter. Satin sheen will show the complex undertone better.
