Microcement · MC-N14

Storm N14

Sits halfway between safe and characterful, and stays there reliably. Within the Microcement range, Storm N14 carries neutral pigment that lets the room's other materials lead and ash undertones — weather-grey, almost charcoal in overall character. On site, Storm N14 ends up most often in alcove and chimney-breast features, with ensuites a close second. Pairs with marble, antique brass and richly grained timbers. Owes a small debt to modern moody, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.
