Benjamin Moore

Piedmont Gray

CC-690 / 1579

Piedmont Gray is a cool steel gray with blue undertones that become more apparent in north-facing rooms. Its LRV of 37.93 places it in the mid-range, offering noticeable depth without becoming very dark. It works well in offices, bedrooms, and living rooms where a cooler gray is intended to read clean rather than warm.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl or Stonington Gray for a layered gray scheme. For contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy adds weight, and Chantilly Lace provides a crisp trim option.
