Benjamin Moore

Bracken Slate

CW-690

Bracken Slate is a dark cool gray with a neutral-to-blue undertone. The cool cast is more apparent in north light. With an LRV of 14.09, it absorbs light and reads deep on full walls.

It fits studies, media rooms, or accent areas where a low-value gray is needed. It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Gray Owl, and Classic Gray for lighter contrast, and with Kendall Charcoal or Essex Green for deeper accents.
