French Roast is a deep, muted warm gray featuring cleanly balanced undertones and a gentle character. With an LRV of 26, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Benjamin Moore's Night, an extremely close match. Sherwin-Williams's Sealskin is another strong alternative. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
