The Grey Between Medium and Dark
The production grey thread family benefits from coverage at every value level, and Glide 10435 Flint fills the specific medium-dark position that sits between the mid-value Medium Grey (10424) and the dark Battleship (10430). Named for the sharp, cool grey of struck flint stone, it is the grey for medium-dark fabrics where Medium Grey reads slightly too light and Battleship reads slightly too dark -- the gap-filling dark neutral that many production studios need for their darker grey client quilts.
