Benjamin Moore

Nordic Gray

CC-576

Nordic Gray by Benjamin Moore is a medium-depth taupe that blends gray and beige undertones into a warm, grounded neutral. Its LRV of 28.53 places it on the darker side of the mid-tone range, giving it enough density for accent applications or full-room coverage in well-lit spaces such as living rooms and home offices. The warm organic lean distinguishes it from cooler grays and keeps it from feeling austere.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for contrast, Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy for added depth, and Saybrook Sage for a muted tonal complement.
