Fossilized presents as a light, warm gray with a hint of warmth beneath the surface and a soft mood. With an LRV of 72, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Colorhouse offers Metal .03 as a near-identical match, while Sherwin-Williams's Chelsea Gray is also very similar. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
