Benjamin Moore

Gunsmith Gray

CW-65

Gunsmith Gray is a deep, blackened gray with neutral to slightly warm undertones that create a substantial, grounding presence. With an LRV of 23.77, it absorbs more light than it reflects, making it suitable for libraries, dens, or home offices where an intimate atmosphere is appropriate. The balanced undertones prevent it from skewing too cool or too warm.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim contrast, Classic Gray in transitional areas, Hale Navy as a complementary dark shade, and Pale Oak to introduce subtle warmth.
