Benjamin Moore

Iron Gate

1545 / CC-572

Iron Gate is a medium-dark gray with a slight brown undertone, registering an LRV of 23.1. This places it in the lower light-reflectance range, making it suitable for accent walls, smaller rooms where coziness is desired, or libraries and studies. The brown undertone adds warmth without pulling the gray toward taupe.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Revere Pewter, and Thunder, allowing for both warm neutral schemes and cooler contrasting applications.
