CSP-225

Gallery Buff is a warm neutral with gray and yellow undertones, carrying an LRV of 46.22. This mid-tone color provides enough depth to anchor a room while still reflecting adequate light for comfortable spaces. The subtle warmth prevents it from reading cold, making it suitable for living rooms, hallways, and gallery spaces where artwork is displayed.

Pair with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray, Revere Pewter, Kendall Charcoal for accents, Simply White for trim, and Pale Oak for adjoining rooms.
