Swirling Smoke is a light, muted warm gray featuring neutral undertones and a inviting character. With an LRV of 79, it reflects a comfortable amount of light, making it a versatile choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. The closest cross-brand match is MPC's Metro Gray, a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Apparition is another strong alternative. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
