Gargoyle

1546

Gargoyle is a saturated neutral with organic brown undertones and an LRV of 18.89, placing it in the darker mid-tone range. Gray and brown combine in this shade, creating a warm yet subdued appearance that reads as a sophisticated earth tone.

Benjamin Moore's Balboa Mist and Edgecomb Gray pair as lighter neutrals, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy add darker accents. Chantilly Lace or Simply White work well for trim contrast.
