Benjamin Moore

Old Montreal

CC-398 / 1018

Old Montreal is a warm neutral from Benjamin Moore that blends beige and gray undertones into a balanced mid-tone shade. Its Light Reflectance Value of 49.49 provides moderate reflectance, making it functional in both well-lit and lower-light rooms such as hallways, living areas, and bedrooms. It works across traditional and contemporary settings without shifting strongly warm or cool.

Pairing it with Simply White or Classic Gray creates a quiet, tonal scheme, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy adds definition, and Golden Straw brings out its warmer side.
