Understanding Stoke
Stoke is a strong, true grey. It sits comfortably alongside Shadow Gray or Worsted, so your palette stays cohesive even when you change sheens or substrates.
Pair it with smoked oak, black steel, and textured linens so Stoke flatters kitchen islands and appliance housings. Link it to Shadow Gray or Worsted next door for a polished palette.
How to test Stoke dupes
Set boards near flooring and fabrics so Stoke doesn't skew too blue beside Shadow Gray or Worsted.
For stairwells or cabinetry, trial a scrubbable sheen to be sure appliance housings can handle everyday wear.
Where Stoke excels
The colour shines in kitchen islands and appliance housings, providing personality without overpowering neighbouring rooms. Layer it with tactile fabrics and thoughtful lighting to underline its nuance.
Carry the story further by echoing it with trims or accents in Shadow Gray or Worsted; the subtle repetition keeps the whole home feeling intentional.
