Gentry Cloudburst Black Glaze pairs a cool Cloudburst grey paint with a hand-applied black glaze that settles into the door's profile lines. The result is a sophisticated cool-grey door with crisp shadow definition at the rail-and-stile joints, suited to kitchens that want high-contrast dimensional character without warm undertone.
How the Combination Reads
Cloudburst is a cool-leaning mid-grey with a barely-blue undertone — distinctly different from the warm-leaning Cirrus or the neutral Nimbus in the line. Black glaze on this cool base produces sharp, high-contrast shadow lines that read formal and architectural. Each door reads slightly differently because the glaze wipe is hand-controlled.

Best Application
Formal modern kitchens, contemporary remodels with cool palettes, and design-led spaces that want dimensional cool-grey character with formal contrast. Cloudburst Black Glaze pairs beautifully as a perimeter run with a contrasting white island in larger kitchens, or as a single dramatic feature in a more neutral overall room.
Hardware Pairings
Brushed nickel, polished chrome, and matte black hardware all register cleanly against the cool layered finish. Brass tones can work as a designed warm contrast but compete with the cool character , choose intentionally rather than as a default. Long bar pulls and slim T-bar profiles suit the formal-modern read.
Care Notes
Glazed finishes show wear at high-touch edges sooner than flat painted doors. Wipe with a damp microfiber and avoid abrasives. Touch-up glaze kits from the same line cover light edge wear at corners over the years.
Order a real door sample. Glaze technique varies door to door, and the cool undertone reads differently under your kitchen's lighting than in a showroom.
