The Deepest Cool Grey
At the 9 position in the Cool Grey series, Glide 10CG9 Cool Grey 9 is the deepest cool grey available -- a near-charcoal that reads as very dark grey without being black. For the darkest cool-grey fabrics where Cool Grey 7 still reads as slightly lighter than the background, Cool Grey 9 provides the precise near-charcoal integration that these dark fabrics require. It is also the thread for any design where grey should be as dark and dramatic as possible without using true black.
