Benjamin Moore

Marina Gray

1599

Marina Gray is a mid-toned neutral gray with cool blue-green undertones that become more apparent in natural light. With an LRV of 44.46, it falls squarely in the middle of the reflectance scale, neither particularly light nor dark. Wickham Gray and Stonington Gray work as lighter companions on ceilings or trim, maintaining the same cool temperature throughout a space.

Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate add depth for accent walls or cabinetry, while Chantilly Lace provides a clean, high-contrast white for architectural details.

Marina Gray in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
