Pigeon Gray

2133-50

Pigeon Gray is a medium gray with a subtle violet undertone that can read slightly cooler as light levels drop. Its LRV of 42.18 keeps it in the mid-light range, making it workable in both smaller and larger rooms. It’s a practical wall color for living rooms and offices when you want gray with a faint color shift rather than a flat neutral.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl or Silver Half Dollar for adjacent grays. For darker accents, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy will increase contrast while staying in a cooler palette.
