Benjamin Moore

Quarry Rock

1568

Quarry Rock by Benjamin Moore is a deep, muted green with pronounced gray undertones, carrying an LRV of 14.71. This low reflectance places it among darker architectural colors, making it practical for accent walls, studies, or bedrooms where a grounded, low-light atmosphere is the goal. The gray component tempers the green, keeping it from reading too saturated and allowing it to function in both contemporary and traditional settings.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Balboa Mist, Hale Navy, Kingsport Gray, Simply White, and Revere Pewter.

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.
