A medium, warm gray, Blackwater carries a slight blue-gray cast and a distinctly refined presence. With an LRV of 34, it adapts easily to any room, serving as a dependable backdrop for living areas and bedrooms. Hirshfield's offers Blackwater as a near-identical match, while Behr's Ball Gown is also very similar. It pairs well with crisp whites for contrast and warm metallics like brass or gold for cohesion.
