Jarl Grey
In the Ruboflex Exterior Coating range, Jarl Grey reads as mid-grey for roofs and elevations, built on a quiet, even-handed undertone and slate-grey pigment. Sits comfortably alongside sandstone, exposed concrete and patinated metals. We see Jarl Grey specified most often for exposed exterior elevations. Properly mid-tone, so it reads consistently from morning to evening. Borrows its character from Scandinavian exterior interiors and re-reads them in a modern context.
