Benjamin Moore

Kitty Gray

1589

Kitty Gray is a dark, muted gray with a green undertone that distinguishes it from purely neutral darks. At an LRV of 15.52, it absorbs a significant amount of light, so adequate artificial or natural lighting is important to prevent it from reading flat. The green cast is subtle but becomes noticeable next to true grays.

Classic Gray and White Dove work as lighter counterpoints on trim or ceilings. Revere Pewter offers a mid-tone bridge, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can be used in layered darker schemes.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
