Gray Huskie

1473 / AC-26

Gray Huskie is a medium-toned gray with cool undertones that lean slightly toward taupe in certain lighting. With an LRV of 45.51, it provides moderate light reflection without appearing too dark or too bright. This gray works across different interior styles and adapts to both warm and cool color schemes.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy for contrast, Amherst Gray for a deeper tonal option, Balboa Mist for a lighter complement, and Classic Gray to create a cohesive neutral palette in living spaces or bedrooms.
