Smoky Trout is a classic medium, warm gray with warm golden undertones. With an LRV of 49, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Valspar offers Empire as an extremely close match, while Kilz's Wildwood is also very similar. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
