Benjamin Moore

Gray Sky

2131-70

Gray Sky is an ultra-light gray with a subtle blue undertone. With an LRV of 75.88, it reflects a high amount of light and functions well in smaller rooms or spaces with limited natural light where brightness is needed. The faint blue cast keeps it from reading as stark white.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Decorator's White for an airy palette, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal add definition, and Palladian Blue or Beach Glass enhance its blue-gray quality.
