A adaptable medium, cool gray, Crucible gets its personality from a slight blue-gray cast. With an LRV of 44, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. The closest cross-brand match is Vista Paint's Made in the Shade, an extremely close match. Hirshfield's's Backwater is another strong alternative.
