Benjamin Moore

Deer Granite

CC-452 / 992

Deer Granite is a smoky taupe that sits in the medium range with an LRV of 27.51, reflecting a moderate amount of light. Its undertones lean gray-brown with a slight warmth, giving it a muted, low-chroma appearance. This positions it as a functional mid-tone that can serve as a main wall color without making a room feel overly dark.

It works well in living rooms, dining spaces, and bedrooms. Recommended Benjamin Moore pairings include White Dove, Revere Pewter, Kendall Charcoal, Silver Sage, and Smoke.
