Benjamin Moore

Gray Lake

2138-70

Gray Lake is a pale silver-gray with faint green undertones that become visible in natural daylight. With an LRV of 78.79, it reflects substantial light and reads as a near-white in many applications. The green influence is subtle and prevents it from appearing stark.

This color suits rooms that benefit from brightness, including living areas and bedrooms. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for layered whites, Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast, and Guilford Green to draw out its green undertones.
