Benjamin Moore

Gray Shower

2125-30

Gray Shower is a dark slate gray with cool undertones. Its LRV of 18.29 means it absorbs considerable light, resulting in a more enclosed feel that works in bedrooms, studies, or rooms where a quieter mood is appropriate. The cool cast leans slightly toward blue-gray territory.

For lighter contrast, Benjamin Moore White Dove or Silver Half Dollar pair effectively with this shade. Stonington Gray and Gray Owl offer mid-tone options, while Hale Navy provides a deeper complementary choice.
