TKB Trading’s Smokey XXX TKB Trading’s Smokey XXX

I agree with TKB’s description that says that this is a complex color. Overall first impression is cement-mauve or warm grey…but that’s not quite right. The pink and mauve are definitely more visible in certain lights, and fronted when this mica is applied damp.
