Finnie Gray

CW-55

Finnie Gray is a warm-leaning neutral gray from Benjamin Moore, originally derived from late 18th-century paint found on the historic Finnie House exterior. It has an LRV of 41.96, placing it in the medium-light range. The undertones are warm and slightly yellow-green, which prevents the color from reading as stark or cold.

It functions on both interior and exterior surfaces. For coordinated palettes, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Classic Gray for lighter accents, Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for darker contrast, and Wythe Blue for a muted green complement.
