Metropolis
At first glance, Metropolis belongs to the grey family; in a room, light and context can make it far more elusive. Its neutral temperature leaves room for surrounding materials and light to pull the color warmer or cooler. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
