Benjamin Moore

French Canvas

1514 / OC-41

French Canvas is a soft off-white with greenish-gray undertones that provide a cool, grounded quality. With an LRV of 74.05, it reflects substantial light while avoiding a stark appearance. The muted gray and green tones work well in both traditional and contemporary settings, and the color functions effectively in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a neutral backdrop is needed.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray, Gray Owl, Balboa Mist, and can be paired with deeper tones like Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for contrast.
