Benjamin Moore

Nantucket Fog

AC-22

Nantucket Fog from Benjamin Moore is a muted, cool blue with gray undertones that give it a quiet, weathered quality. Its hex value is #A2B4BA and it has an LRV of 45.02, placing it in the mid-range -- dark enough to anchor a wall but still light enough to avoid making a room feel closed in. It is a reasonable choice for bedrooms, bathrooms, and coastal-style living areas.

Nantucket Fog works well alongside other Benjamin Moore colors including Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Saybrook Sage, Hale Navy, and Silver Fox for layered neutral-to-blue schemes.
