China Aster is a medium, muted cool gray — serene in tone, with balanced undertones. With an LRV of 31, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. For a cross-brand equivalent, Kilz's India Ink is an extremely close match. Hirshfield's's China Aster runs close as well.
