Benjamin Moore

Brushed Aluminum

1485

Brushed Aluminum is a mid-tone gray with subtle green undertones. The green cast is more apparent in north light. The LRV of 55.43 keeps it in a light-to-mid range, so it reads balanced in most rooms.

It works in living rooms, bedrooms, or kitchens where a green-leaning gray is needed. It pairs with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for contrast, and with Kendall Charcoal for depth; Saybrook Sage or Palladian Blue can reinforce the green-blue cast.
