Benjamin Moore

Flint

AF-560

Flint is a deep charcoal gray with cool blue undertones. Its low LRV of 11.96 gives it a dense, shadowed appearance. The blue influence keeps it from reading brown or muddy.

It is typically used for accent walls, cabinetry, or spaces designed for low light. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Silver Half Dollar and Gray Owl. Stronger contrasts such as Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal deepen the scheme, while Simply White or Classic Gray provide relief.
