Benjamin Moore

Copley Gray

HC-104 / 1538

Copley Gray from Benjamin Moore is a mid-depth neutral built on a gray base with a noticeable green cast. It has an LRV of 25.65, which means it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a grounded, subdued tone in most lighting conditions. The green undertone becomes more apparent under warm artificial light.

It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a quieter wall color is needed. Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter complement it for a layered neutral scheme, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide strong tonal contrast.

Copley 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.
