Benjamin Moore

Intrigue

1580

Intrigue is a muted gray with distinct green undertones, resulting in a cool, organic appearance. The LRV of 24.43 places it in the lower-mid range, absorbing more light and adding depth to a space. This gray-green works well in north-facing rooms where its complexity becomes more apparent.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Classic Gray, sage greens, and muted golds, allowing for refined neutral schemes or layered palettes with warm accents.
