Benjamin Moore

Hampshire Gray

HC-101

Hampshire Gray is a green-leaning neutral with charcoal undertones that position it between gray and olive. An LRV of 25.45 places it in the deeper mid-tone range, absorbing more light than it reflects. The green undertone is subtle but present, particularly when compared against pure grays.

This color suits studies, libraries, or living areas. Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cloud White provide bright contrast, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy add depth. Grant Beige offers a warmer neutral that acknowledges the earthy quality of this shade.
