Both adaptable and nuanced, Volcanic Ash is a medium, cool gray with a slight blue-gray cast. With an LRV of 35, it provides a flexible foundation that pairs well with both warm and cool accent colors. The closest cross-brand match is Benjamin Moore's Deep, a near-identical match. Dunn-Edwards's Blue Steel is another strong alternative. It complements both bright whites and charcoal grays, making it easy to build a cohesive palette around.
