Benjamin Moore

Litchfield Gray

HC-78

Litchfield Gray is a warm-leaning neutral gray with a subtle pink undertone that sets it apart from cooler grays. At an LRV of 58.67, it sits comfortably in the mid-light range, reflecting enough light to keep a room open without washing out. The pink cast is faint — more a shift in warmth than a visible color — making it read as a sophisticated greige under most lighting conditions.

It pairs cleanly with White Dove and Pale Oak, gains depth alongside Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal, and works well next to Palladian Blue.
