Lignite offers a classic take on a medium, neutral gray, accented by minimal undertones. With an LRV of 38, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. The closest cross-brand match is Dunn-Edwards's Charcoal Smudge, a near-identical match. Valspar's Semi-Sweet is another strong alternative.
