French reads as a versatile medium, cool gray, shaped by its cool blue undertones. With an LRV of 31, it adapts easily to any room, serving as a dependable backdrop for living areas and bedrooms. The closest cross-brand match is Valspar's Chimney Smoke, an extremely close match. Behr's Cracked Pepper is another strong alternative. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
