Graphite N15
A genuinely deep shade with weight and presence. In the Microcement range, Graphite N15 reads as the deep architectural mid-dark, built on neutral pigment that lets the room's other materials lead and pencil-lead pigment. We see Graphite N15 specified most often for alcove and chimney-breast features and split-level stair walls. Pairs with marble, antique brass and richly grained timbers. Borrows its character from contemporary architectural interiors and re-reads them in a modern context.

Questions clients ask about this shade
Won't Graphite N15 make the room feel smaller?+
Deep shades like Graphite N15 actually blur a room's edges, making walls feel further away rather than closer. The trick is to wrap the colour onto skirting and trim so there are no high-contrast lines to remind the eye where the room ends.
Is Graphite N15 suitable for a shower or wet-room?+
Graphite N15 can be specified for wet-rooms with our standard microcement wet-zone build: primer, two base coats with reinforcing mesh, two finishing coats, then a tanking membrane and two coats of polyurethane sealer. The colour itself doesn't change suitability — finish and sealer do.
What does Graphite N15 pair with from your range?+
We most often pair Graphite N15 with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, works as a backdrop to brass, gilt frames and warm-toned timber.
