Smoky Pitch

4007-4B

Smoky Pitch is deep slate, blue at heart and edged with green. The blue-green slate base can carry built-ins without reading black. This color belongs on built-ins, interior doors, or a dramatic office wall where depth is the point.

At LRV 12, it will not brighten a room. Use layered lamps and a sheen that fits the surface. Pale oak and a warm white trim choice keep the blue-gray from closing in too much.

Smoky Pitch 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
