Keelie Cirrus Pewter Glaze pairs the soft Cirrus grey paint with a hand-applied pewter glaze that settles into the door's profile lines. The combination produces a refined tone-on-tone layered finish where the Cirrus warmth and pewter cool create subtle dimensional contrast at the rail-and-stile joints.
The Warm-Cool Layering
Cirrus reads as a soft warm-leaning grey, while pewter glaze sits in cool grey-brown territory. Together they create a tone-on-tone layered look where the slight temperature contrast gives the door dimensional quality without sharp definition. Each door reads slightly differently because the wipe is hand-controlled. The overall character is sophisticated and quiet rather than crisp or formal.

Best Application
Transitional kitchens that bridge warm and cool palettes, design-led remodels with mixed temperature elements, and homes that want layered grey character without high contrast. Cirrus Pewter Glaze pairs beautifully as a perimeter run with a contrasting white island, or as a single anchor section in a larger neutral kitchen. The slight temperature contrast in the layering also makes the finish unusually flexible across cabinet pairings.
Pairing Direction
Brushed nickel, brushed brass, and matte black hardware all register cleanly against the layered grey. The Cirrus warmth gives brass tones a foothold that fully cool greys don't provide. For counters, soft white-veined quartz, warm-grey marble look-alikes, and cream-veined surfaces all complement the door without temperature conflict.
Care Notes
Glazed finishes show wear at high-touch edges sooner than flat painted doors. Wipe with a damp microfiber and skip abrasives. Touch-up kits from the same line cover light edge wear at corners over time.
Order a real door sample. Glaze technique varies door to door, and the warm-cool layering reads differently under your kitchen's actual lighting than in a showroom display.
