When I think of the color slate, I think of the sleek stone, one that's a little rough around the edges, and perfect for adding a cool, moody edge to an interior. But there are so many other ways to introduce this in-between color than through the stone finish. In fact, slate can be an exceptionally elegant shade to use in a space. But you might be asking yourself: what color is slate, exactly? And it's a good question.
"Slate is a sophisticated, muted tone that sits between gray and blue," explains Emily Kantz, a NCIDQ-certified designer and color marketing manager at Sherwin Williams. "It can have a cool and calming effect, and can vary in intensity from light and soft to deep and dramatic."
