Smoke

The Basics

What are people saying about this color?

Few colours are as relaxing as grey but if you’re worried about creating a sad space instead of a cozy one try a shade of grey with a hint of colour like Benjamin Moore Smoke. It has a cool blue undertone but pairs beautifully with metallic gold and soft cream (like a fluffy blanket).

What kind of spaces does it work best in?

This shade works beautifully in bedrooms or offices, and is close enough to neutral that it could be used across an open floor plan or in hallways. It could read as modern or traditional.

Where could you expect to see it?

This color conveys a combination of comfort and elegance, so I could see it at a boutique selling high-end sheets and towels.

Who shouldn't pick this color?

In a north-facing room, this shade might veer into little-boy-blue in a way that some wouldn’t care for.
