Benjamin Moore

French Toile

CSP-595

French Toile is a muted blue-gray with soft neutral undertones. With an LRV of 42.8, it occupies the medium-light range and has a chalky, restrained character. The gray component tempers the blue, keeping the color understated.

It works well in rooms with moderate natural light and suits transitional or contemporary interiors. Benjamin Moore Classic Gray, Chantilly Lace, and soft sage greens coordinate naturally, while muted navy tones can add depth without overwhelming the palette.
