Of all the Milk Paint colors on General Finishes' contrast ratio chart, Queenstown Gray scored highest, at 100.50. GF explains that neutral colors carry a good amount of titanium dioxide, which hides well and means fewer coats. This quart covers 100 to 125 sq ft per coat, enough for a vanity, a dresser or a few cabinet doors at two coats (about 50 to 62 sq ft). When the gray goes over a sealed or prefinished surface, GF recommends Enduro Deep Base primer underneath.
