Smoky grey is a gray with brown underneath it, which is what keeps it from going cold in a north facing room. The CNC Cabinetry Luxor Smoky Grey L02 carries that tone on the wide two and a half inch shaker frame, around a flat center panel with a half inch reveal. HM Cabinetry keeps the Luxor Smoky Grey L02 door at the East Brunswick showroom, where you can check it under both warm and cool light.

Gray splits into warm and cool, and the two behave nothing alike once they are up on a wall. The CNC Cabinetry Luxor Smoky Grey L02 sits on the warm side, which lets it work next to oak floors and cream counters that a blue leaning gray would fight with. The door is a two and a half inch shaker frame with mortise and tenon corners, hung on a framed hardwood box.

A smoky gray does the job a stain used to do in a traditional kitchen, giving the room depth without committing to a wood tone. On the wide Luxor frame it has enough surface to show, where a narrow shaker rail in a muted gray tends to disappear into the wall behind it. HM Cabinetry pairs CNC Cabinetry Luxor Smoky Grey L02 with white counters and warm metal hardware in Middlesex and Monmouth county kitchens.
Where a gray kitchen usually goes wrong is the second gray. The counter, the backsplash and the floor each bring an undertone of their own, and three cool grays with one warm one among them is the combination that looks off without anyone being able to say why. HM Cabinetry lays the Luxor Smoky Grey L02 door against your counter and floor samples together rather than one at a time. Behind the door the build is a framed box with a quarter inch back in a three inch plywood surround, half inch plywood ends with a light maple interior, and solid wood dovetail drawers on epoxy coated undermount glides.
A muted finish is the easiest one to live with and the hardest to touch up invisibly, because there is no grain pattern for a repair to hide in. HM Cabinetry orders the full Luxor Smoky Grey L02 kitchen out of one run, holds a spare door back, and sets the six way hinges after the first heating season.
