Benjamin Moore

Castle Peak Gray

1561

Castle Peak Gray is a deep mossy green with warm gray undertones. With an LRV of 14.62, it absorbs light and reads dark on full walls. It works for libraries, dining rooms, or cabinetry where a grounded green is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist or Classic Gray to lighten the scheme, and use Soft Chamois for warmth. Hale Navy or New London Burgundy add stronger contrast.

Castle Peak Gray in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
