Benjamin Moore

Crownsville Gray

HC-106

Crownsville Gray is a deep greenish brown from Benjamin Moore's Historical Colors line. At an LRV of 21.96, it absorbs a considerable amount of light and reads as a dark, weighty tone in most conditions. The green undertone adds complexity and prevents it from appearing flat.

It works well in libraries, studies, and rooms where a substantial wall color is appropriate. Pairing it with White Dove or Muslin provides necessary lightness, while Hale Navy or Backwoods reinforces its depth through analogous or complementary contrast.
