Charcoal gray is a deep, rich, almost black-gray with subtle blue undertones. This cool hue can be found in nature in the form of charred wood, but you can also find it in charcoal. While it doesn’t pair well with all colors, when used with the right ones, it is stunning. Looking to create a sleepy morning vibe? Pair it with browns, greens, turquoise, sands, and other grays. Looking for something more festive? Pair it with honeys, oranges, and burnt yellows for the perfect fall decor color combo. Charcoal gray works well in any environment. It is a popular color as a base in nurseries to create a gender-neutral vibe. It looks fantastic on home exteriors. Homes painted this color accompanied by pale mint doors and window panes are simply breathtaking. Because charcoal gray is a neutral, you can’t really go wrong with it. Use it in kitchens, bathrooms, or screened-in porches, or go bold and paint the entire exterior of your house for a year-round visually-appealing vibe.
