Wharf Wind

8004-27B

Wharf Wind is a muted gray with a soft green-yellow undertone, like weathered dock boards in haze. The yellow-green undertone keeps the gray warmer than concrete. Use it in halls, offices, or kitchen walls when beige feels too warm and gray feels too cold.

The color works with oak, stone, and black metal. At a mid value, it can cover larger walls. Bright white trim makes the gray feel cleaner.
