The Dark Grey Adirondack chair
Softer than black, deeper than grey. The color that matches a composite deck exactly.
Dark Grey is the color of a modern composite deck board, which is exactly why it exists. Put it on Trex or a slate-grey composite and the chair and the floor become one surface; put it on a wooden deck and it reads as a deliberate contrast, like a good pair of shoes.
It is warmer and more forgiving than Black — pollen, dust and dried rain show less — and it keeps the sculptural quality that makes dark chairs look expensive. In low evening light it is nearly black; at noon it is clearly grey.
It photographs beautifully next to White and next to a bright accent color: two Dark Grey chairs and one Yellow ottoman is a set people stop to look at.

Questions
Is Dark Grey close to Black?
It is a full step lighter. Side by side the difference is obvious; alone in evening light it reads as near-black. If you are matching a grey deck board, Dark Grey is the one.
