Benjamin Moore

Arctic Gray

1577

Arctic Gray is a cool-leaning blue-gray with an LRV of 61.03, which places it in the upper-middle range of light reflectance and allows it to keep rooms feeling bright without appearing washed out. The blue undertone is subtle enough that the color reads as a composed neutral under most lighting conditions. It coordinates well with White Dove on trim, while Gray Owl can serve as a lighter wall transition in adjacent rooms.

Hale Navy provides strong contrast on accent walls or cabinetry, and Soft Fern introduces a muted green complement. Silver Fox works as a deeper tonal companion in hallways or built-ins.

Arctic 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.
