With evenly balanced undertones, Smoky Forest is a relaxed medium, muted warm gray. With an LRV of 49, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Knotweed, a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Sussex is another strong alternative. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
