Gravel Gray

2127-30

Gravel Gray is a deep blue-gray that approaches near-black values while retaining discernible color. With an LRV of 8.43, it absorbs most light and creates a moody, concentrated effect on walls or trim. The blue undertone distinguishes it from pure charcoal grays, adding depth without warmth.

This shade works for accent walls, cabinetry, or home offices where a dark backdrop is appropriate. Gravel Gray coordinates with Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray and Gray Owl for tonal contrast, while Ballet White or Simply White provide lighter balance. Salamander offers a complementary deep green option.
