Farrow and Ball Smelt Black G18

Farrow and Ball Smelt Black G18 is a deep, even charcoal-grey with a neutral cast, based on its balanced #3c3c3c color value. It reads as a soft black in bright rooms, while lower light brings out its full, shadowy depth. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, or a single wall where a solid dark contrast is wanted without the absolute sharpness of black. Pale plaster, crisp white trim, light oak, and brushed steel give this shade a clean, grounded setting. On an exterior detail such as a front door or window frame, Smelt Black can create a defined outline against lighter masonry or siding.
