Frequently Asked Questions
- Ash Gray or Dark Gray (3025) — the dark end of Omni grey?
- Temperature and depth: Ash is warm with a brown cast, Dark Gray is the deeper cooler charcoal. Greige and slate tops want Ash; cool graphite tops want 3025.
- When does medium grey fail and Ash succeed?
- On medium-dark fabrics — a mid grey fades to invisible-but-wrong there, while Ash holds tonal presence. It owns the value band just above charcoal.
- Which store fabrics call for it?
- Grey Ash Grunge wideback — the namesake pairing — plus warm dark-grey Bella and greige palettes generally.
- Why matte here rather than Glide sheen?
- Industrial and masculine aesthetics usually want the quilting quiet — Omni's matte reads as fabric texture where Glide's luster would read as decoration. Same color family, different registers.
- Tonal work on true charcoal?
- Ash reads a half-step light there — subtle contrast if intended; for fully invisible charcoal work step down to a deep charcoal or black.
