Steel offers a adaptable take on a medium, neutral gray, accented by minimal undertones. With an LRV of 48, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. For a cross-brand equivalent, Kilz's Chipped Granite is an extremely close match. Valspar's Almost Charcoal runs close as well. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
