Bennington Gray

HC-82

Bennington Gray is a greige with balanced warm and cool undertones. Its LRV of 46.68 gives mid-level reflectance, so it holds depth without reading heavy. It works in living rooms, hallways, or kitchens where a neutral with body is needed.

Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter keep a tonal scheme, while Wind's Breath lightens adjacent areas. Hale Navy or Forest Floor add darker contrast.
