Benjamin Moore

Chateau

CSP-140

Chateau is a muted gray-beige with warm undertones and a soft, earthy cast. Its LRV of 36.85 puts it in the mid range and gives it a steady depth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a neutral backdrop is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray to keep the palette light. Stone Hearth or Camouflage add adjacent color, while Kendall Charcoal gives darker contrast.

Chateau in Different Light
