Benjamin Moore

Gray Mountain

1462

Gray Mountain is a deep gray with warm undertones that distinguish it from cooler charcoals. With an LRV of 18.5, it absorbs considerable light and works best in spaces where a darker, substantial presence is intended. The warm undertones prevent it from reading as cold or stark.

This color suits living rooms, dining areas, and home offices with adequate lighting. It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for strong contrast on trim, Revere Pewter and Stonington Gray for tonal transitions, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal as complementary dark accents.
