Brewster Gray

HC-162

Brewster Gray is a cool gray with a blue undertone. Its LRV of 29.97 gives it medium depth and a stable read in most lighting. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where a blue-leaning gray is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Silver Chain and Coventry Gray for a gray range, and with White Dove for clean trim; Hale Navy or Wickham Gray can add contrast or continuity.
