Benjamin Moore

Graytint

1611

Graytint is a soft gray with a faint blue undertone. With an LRV of 68.56, it reflects a good amount of light, making it functional in bedrooms, living rooms, and office spaces where a quiet, neutral background is needed. The blue cast is subtle enough to read as a clean gray in most lighting.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray work as lighter companions, while Chelsea Gray and Hale Navy provide depth, and Palladian Blue can extend the cool undertone.

Graytint 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.
