A light, warm gray that feels subtle, Portland Cement is distinguished by its very balanced undertones. With an LRV of 76, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. The closest cross-brand match is Sherwin-Williams's Knitting Needles, a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Smoke is another strong alternative.
