Benjamin Moore

Boothbay Gray

HC-165

Boothbay Gray is a muted blue-gray with a cool undertone and low chroma. The LRV of 43.26 places it in the mid range, so it reads steady in both daylight and artificial light. It is appropriate for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices, and it also works on exterior siding where a low-contrast tone is desired.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Chantilly Lace, and Classic Gray for clean transitions and trim.
