Benjamin Moore

Classic Gray

1548 / OC-23

Classic Gray is an ultra-light warm gray with subtle taupe undertones and very low chroma. With an LRV of 73.67, it reflects a lot of light and can read close to off-white. It works on whole-room walls, trim, or ceilings where a soft neutral is desired.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee create a layered white scheme. Kendall Charcoal provides a darker counterpoint to define adjoining spaces.
