Benjamin Moore

Anchor Gray

2126-30

Benjamin Moore Anchor Gray is a deep blue-gray with distinctly cool undertones. At an LRV of 13.57 it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a dark, saturated tone suited to accent walls, cabinetry, or exterior doors where a grounded appearance is needed. The blue in its base becomes more noticeable under natural daylight.

It coordinates well with other Benjamin Moore colors such as Gray Owl, Silver Satin, and Palladian Blue for a cooler scheme, or with Hale Navy and Chantilly Lace when sharper contrast is the goal.

Anchor Gray 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
