Benjamin Moore

Escarpment

CC-518 / 1468, AC-30

Escarpment is a gray with a subtle violet undertone that distinguishes it from straightforward neutral grays. Its LRV of 34.48 places it in the medium range, providing enough depth to anchor a space without making it feel dark. The violet cast is most noticeable in daylight and under cooler artificial lighting.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Hale Navy, Silver Fox, and Stone Harbor. This color is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or studies where a complex gray is needed.
