Benjamin Moore

Cathedral Gray

CSP-205

Cathedral Gray is a warm gray with taupe undertones that keep it from reading cool. An LRV of 26.41 gives it a mid-dark depth that shows more shadow in low light. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where a grounded neutral is required.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Balboa Mist, or Edgecomb Gray for a light range. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal add deeper contrast, and Saybrook Sage introduces muted color.
