Is Iron Ore a black paint color?
As you can see in the picture above, while Iron Ore is a dark paint color, it should not be considered black. In a well lit space, this color can look silky smooth as the undertones come forward. Typically, Iron Ore has gray/brown undertones. However, it’s important to remember that the lighting in your room will make a HUGE difference on how the color looks.
