Benjamin Moore

New Hope Gray

2130-50

New Hope Gray by Benjamin Moore is a mid-tone neutral that blends blue and gray, producing a cool-leaning finish with noticeable blue undertones. It has an LRV of 39.21, placing it in the moderate reflectance range, appropriate for living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms where a composed, cooler atmosphere is the goal. The blue component is strong enough to read in most lighting, preventing it from appearing as a flat gray.

It coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray, Wickham Gray, Manchester Tan, Shaker Beige, and Deep Royal across both tonal and complementary pairings.
