Benjamin Moore

Distant Gray

2124-70 / OC-68

Distant Gray is a near-white with a cool blue undertone that distinguishes it from pure white. It has an LRV of 88.14, making it highly reflective and effective at maximizing perceived room brightness. In warm artificial light, the blue undertone may diminish, while in north-facing rooms it will read cooler.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue or Stonington Gray for contrast, Chantilly Lace for a tonal white-on-white scheme, or Edgecomb Gray to introduce slight warmth. It is appropriate for walls, ceilings, and trim applications.
