Catalina Muratti 1 is the muted cool-toned grey finish with taupe-like undertones on Fabuwood's Catalina slab door, part of the Illume line. Muratti 1's gray-and-taupe palette pairs with Catalina's minimalist design to create contemporary cabinetry with quiet sophistication and tonal complexity.
Why Cool Grey Plus Taupe Undertones Reads Different
Pure cool grey slab cabinets commit to architectural cool character. Pure taupe slabs commit to warm-leaning neutral. Muratti 1 layers both, with cool grey as the primary tone and subtle taupe as supporting undertone. That dual character delivers tonal complexity that single-direction grey or taupe alternatives cannot match, suiting kitchens with mixed warm-cool elements where strict commitment to either direction would clash with surrounding palette pieces.

Designed For
Catalina Muratti 1 carries contemporary kitchens that need flexible neutral cabinetry with subtle complexity, primary bath vanities, condo and apartment remodels with European design language, and homes with mixed warm-cool design elements where the bridging tone matters. It pairs cleanly with painted white, cream, or wood-toned cabinetry alongside it, brushed nickel or polished chrome hardware, and either oak or walnut flooring. Brass also works thanks to the taupe undertone bridging warm direction.
Sample Tip
Multi-tone neutrals shift visibly between cooler and warmer LED bulbs because the secondary undertone reads differently under different lighting. Pull a sample door and view it on your counter under both midday daylight and evening fixtures before locking the order. The taupe undertone reads more visible at the close inspection distance counters typically receive in kitchen use.
