Black is a medium, muted cool gray — subdued in tone, with cleanly balanced undertones. With an LRV of 48, it strikes a balance that suits both traditional and contemporary spaces, from dining rooms to dens. For a cross-brand equivalent, Valspar's Magnet Dapple is an extremely close match. Sherwin-Williams's Downing Slate runs close as well.
