Benjamin Moore

Pearl Gray

863

Benjamin Moore Pearl Gray is a silver-gray with cool undertones and a slight green cast, registering a high LRV of 73.54. This light reflectance makes rooms appear more open, which is practical for smaller spaces or rooms with limited natural light. The subtle green undertone prevents it from reading as flat or cold.

It works effectively in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a neutral cool wall is needed. Benjamin Moore White Dove and Gray Owl coordinate well as trim pairings, while Wedgewood Gray and Palladian Blue extend the cool palette. Kendall Charcoal anchors the scheme as a deeper accent.

Pearl Gray in Different Light
