As a deep, neutral gray, Universal brings a steady energy through its a nearly neutral base. With an LRV of 21, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. The closest cross-brand match is Hirshfield's's Sayward Pine, an extremely close match. Sherwin-Williams's Black Magic is another strong alternative.
