Benjamin Moore

Gunmetal

1602

Gunmetal is a deep, cool gray with subtle blue-green undertones that contribute to its steely, industrial character. With an LRV of 16.63, it absorbs significant light and is best applied on accent walls, in offices, or on cabinetry where a strong presence is intended. The cool undertones read consistently in both natural and artificial light.

This color works well with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl for a lighter tonal pairing, Classic Gray as a softer neutral, Hale Navy for a deep combination, and Silver Satin to provide contrast.
