Benjamin Moore

Dark Pewter

2122-10

Dark Pewter by Benjamin Moore is a deep blue-gray with a noticeable green undertone that shifts its character depending on the surrounding light. It has an LRV of 10.79, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads quite dark on the wall. This makes it well suited for rooms where a low-key, enclosed feel is the goal.

It coordinates effectively with Chantilly Lace or Simply White for contrast, while Silver Half Dollar and Hale Navy maintain tonal continuity. Kendall Charcoal works as a near-value companion in darker schemes.
