HC-163

Duxbury Gray is a mid-tone color that blends green, blue, and gray undertones into a single composite hue. It has an LRV of 23.6, placing it in the lower-reflectance range where it will read noticeably dark on walls, particularly in rooms with limited natural light. The green and blue undertones shift depending on surrounding colors and light source temperature.

Suitable Benjamin Moore pairings include Smoke, Gray Cashmere, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Chantilly Lace. This shade works well for accent walls, cabinetry, or rooms where a deeper wall color is appropriate.
