A classic medium, warm gray, BMW Sterling Grey Met. gets its personality from a hint of warmth beneath the surface. With an LRV of 48, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For a cross-brand equivalent, PPG's Cool Charcoal is a near-identical match. Kilz's Smokey Eyes runs close as well.
