Benjamin Moore

Oxford Gray

2128-40

Oxford Gray by Benjamin Moore is a medium-dark blue-gray with a hue around 212 degrees, placing it on the blue side of the gray spectrum while a soft gray overlay tempers saturation. Its light reflectance value of 28.78 provides depth without fully absorbing room light, making it a practical choice for accent walls, cabinetry, and exterior trim. The cooler temperature reads composed under both natural and artificial light, pairing effectively with crisp whites and light oak.

Oxford Gray coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Manchester Tan, Pale Oak, Boothbay Gray, Chelsea Gray, and Chantilly Lace.
