Gray Gardens

CSP-55

Gray Gardens is a dark gray with subtle green undertones that add warmth to its otherwise neutral base. With an LRV of 18.66, it absorbs significant light and creates a cocooning effect in interior spaces. The green undertones become more visible in rooms with warm lighting.

This shade suits living rooms, libraries, or studies where a darker, grounded backdrop is desired. It pairs with Benjamin Moore Sea Haze for a muted coordination, Revere Pewter for tonal contrast, Simply White for trim, and Hale Navy or Black Forest Green for accent colors.
