Carbon presents as a deep, muted cool gray with cleanly balanced undertones and a tranquil mood. With an LRV of 19, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, RAL's Anthracite Grey is a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Black runs close as well. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
