Benjamin Moore

Graystone

1475 / AC-27

Graystone is a mid-tone gray with soft, hazy undertones that lean slightly warm. Its LRV of 30.5 places it in the lower-mid range, absorbing more light than it reflects. This makes it appropriate for larger rooms or spaces with ample natural light where a muted backdrop is needed.

The color pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Revere Pewter for lighter coordination, Pale Oak for a soft transition, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for stronger contrast.

Graystone in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
