Benjamin Moore

Overcoat

CC-544

Overcoat by Benjamin Moore is a deep, warm-leaning gray with black and charcoal undertones that give it substantial visual weight on walls and trim. Its light reflectance value of 15.23 places it in the darker range of the gray spectrum, absorbing most ambient light and producing a dense effect in enclosed spaces. This makes it practical for dining rooms, home offices, or accent walls where a low-light atmosphere is intended.

The warmth in its base prevents it from reading as cold under artificial lighting. Overcoat pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl, Classic Gray, Revere Pewter, and Balboa Mist.

Overcoat in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
