Black Spruce presents as a medium, cool gray with a whisper of green and a steady mood. With an LRV of 33, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. The closest cross-brand match is Vista Paint's Deep Sea Shadow, a near-identical match. Valspar's Deepest River is another strong alternative. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
