About smoke
Smoke is a desaturated mid-gray with the cool, atmospheric quality of woodsmoke seen from a distance. The blue undertone stays subtle in daylight but pulls forward under cool LED bulbs, so test it on the actual wall before committing.
Use Smoke in bedrooms, home offices, and powder rooms where you want depth without going dark. Pair with white oak, soft white trim, and matte black hardware for a modern read. Designer alternatives: BM Smoke Embers, SW Mineral Deposit, F&B Plummett.
