Benjamin Moore

Half Moon Crest

1481

Half Moon Crest is a cool gray with relatively neutral undertones, though a slight green-blue cast may appear in certain lighting conditions. The LRV of 51.02 places it in the mid-range for light reflection, maintaining brightness without excessive lightness. This gray works in living rooms, bedrooms, or office spaces requiring a contemporary neutral.

Benjamin Moore Gray Owl and Silver Satin coordinate for tonal schemes, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal add depth. Woodlawn Blue provides a subtle color complement without overwhelming the neutral base.
