Knotweed is a medium, muted warm gray with balanced undertones that give it a understated quality. With an LRV of 48, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. The closest cross-brand match is Dunn-Edwards's Smoky Forest, a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Sussex is another strong alternative. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
