About slate gray
Slate Gray is a cool blue-gray drawn from natural roofing slate. The blue cast is genuine, not undertone-subtle, which is why it has owned the exterior-siding category for the past decade alongside black trim and white windows.
Use it on board-and-batten siding, shutters, garage doors, and kitchen islands inside. Pair with crisp white trim, natural cedar accents, and bluestone walkways. Inside, it grounds white kitchens without going moody. Designer alternatives: BM Knoxville Gray, SW Slate Tile, F&B Down Pipe.
