Benjamin Moore

Randolph Gray

CW-85

Randolph Gray by Benjamin Moore is a deep charcoal with muted brown-green undertones, based on a mid-18th century Williamsburg shade. At an LRV of 11.34, it reflects very little light and functions as a near-dark neutral that reads almost black in dim conditions. The slight warmth in its base separates it from pure cool grays.

Chantilly Lace and Simply White provide maximum contrast for trim and ceilings. Revere Pewter and Shaker Beige serve as mid-tone transitional neutrals on adjoining surfaces. Hale Navy works as a tonal companion in darker schemes.

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.
