Benjamin Moore

Gotham

CSP-385

Gotham is a complex neutral that reads as deep taupe with sepia and weathered gray undertones depending on lighting conditions. With an LRV of 22.32, it absorbs more light than it reflects, lending itself to home offices, living rooms, or dining areas. This shade coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist for a lighter neutral pairing, Kendall Charcoal for deeper tonal depth, Classic Gray for subtle contrast, and Revere Pewter for a warm mid-tone complement.
