Benjamin Moore

Metropolis

CC-546 / 1469

Metropolis is a warm gray-brown from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 24.46, making it a notably darker, more light-absorbing color. Its undertones are a blend of taupe and brown with a slight green-gray cast that shifts depending on surrounding colors and light quality. The color reads as a deep, grounded neutral that skews warm.

It works alongside Pale Oak OC-20 for a light contrast on trim or ceilings, Revere Pewter HC-172 for a tonal lighter wall, Kendall Charcoal HC-166 as a coordinating dark, Balboa Mist OC-27 for a soft neutral bridge, and Wrought Iron 2124-10 for accents.
