Dark Engine offers a adaptable take on a deep, neutral gray, accented by very balanced undertones. With an LRV of 25, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Totally Black, a near-identical match. Valspar's Dark Kettle Black is another strong alternative. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
