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.
