A deep, neutral gray that feels classic, Subway is distinguished by its very balanced undertones. With an LRV of 25, it works as a versatile whole-home neutral for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. Sherwin-Williams offers Iron Ore as an extremely close match, while Hirshfield's's November Storms is also very similar. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
