Downtown

CSP-165

Downtown is a neutral gray with subtle warm undertones that lean slightly toward taupe. It has an LRV of 33.02, placing it in the mid-depth range where it provides noticeable color presence without overwhelming a room. The warm cast prevents it from reading as cold or sterile under most lighting.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Classic Gray for lighter contrast. Hale Navy or Black Forest Green offer deeper accent options. Revere Pewter or Manchester Tan serve as closely related warm neutrals.
