Gray Mirage

2142-50

Gray Mirage is a gray with noticeable green and warm undertones that give it an earthy, muted quality. With an LRV of 53.78, it falls in the mid-range for light reflectance and provides moderate brightness. The blend of gray and green creates a neutral that reads warmer than pure grays.

It works in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. This color pairs with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray and Simply White for lighter contrast, Kendall Charcoal and Chelsea Gray for darker accents, and Soft Fern or Guilford Green to complement its green base.
