Benjamin Moore

Metro Gray

1459

Metro Gray is a neutral gray from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 58.43, placing it in the light-medium range. Its undertones are nearly balanced, with a faint cool lean that may register as slight blue or green in certain lighting conditions. The color maintains a consistent, quiet gray read in most standard daylight.

It pairs well with Classic Gray OC-23 for a lighter monochromatic step, Wrought Iron 2124-10 for a near-black accent, White Dove OC-17 as a warm trim white, Chelsea Gray HC-168 for depth, and Silver Satin OC-26 to bridge the gap between gray and white.
