Benjamin Moore

Nantucket Gray

HC-111 / 1502

Nantucket Gray (HC-111) is an earthy mid-tone from Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection, with an LRV of 39.83 that positions it squarely in the medium-reflectance range. Its base is a warm gray modulated by noticeable green and beige undertones, producing a khaki-olive read that shifts depending on light -- greener in daylight, more taupe under incandescent sources. It works effectively alongside Tapestry Beige (OC-32) and Creamy White (OC-7) for lighter contrast, Kendall Charcoal (HC-166) for darker anchoring, and Sweet Basil (455) to draw out its green character in a tonal pairing.
