We devised a sweet color using gray and the darker browns. Ebony helps to pull the grain out. Gray keeps it from being too dark, and the Jacobean gives it the perfect brown while counteracting the blackness of the ebony. Result: Looks like barn boards in a 200 year old Vermont barn
2 parts ebony
3 parts classic gray
1 part jacobean
I looked for the article but it's only in print for now.
