Benjamin Moore

Dolphin

AF-715

Dolphin is a mid-tone gray with slight warm undertones that keep it from reading as stark or cold. Its LRV of 23.71 means it reflects a limited amount of light, making it better suited for well-lit rooms or accent applications. The color functions effectively in contemporary and industrial-style interiors as either a primary wall color or a supporting backdrop.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray or Edgecomb Gray for a neutral scheme. Hale Navy or Deep River add darker contrast, and Silver Satin provides a lighter tonal step.
