Benjamin Moore

Alaskan Husky

1479

Alaskan Husky by Benjamin Moore is a light cool gray with subtle blue-green undertones that keep it from reading as flat or purely neutral. At an LRV of 66.52, it reflects a good amount of light, functioning well as a main wall color in living rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms where a quiet, low-contrast backdrop is needed. It pairs effectively with other Benjamin Moore cool tones like Silver Marlin and Gray Owl for a cohesive palette, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide sharper contrast, and Nimbus Gray offers a close tonal neighbor for adjacent surfaces.

Alaskan Husky in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
