Lava Gray is a medium, cool gray — steady in tone, with cool blue undertones. With an LRV of 40, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. For a cross-brand equivalent, Kilz's Murky Depths is a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Powell runs close as well. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
