Benjamin Moore

Richmond Gray

HC-96 / 514

Richmond Gray is a muted green-brown neutral with herbaceous undertones that read more green in cool lighting and more khaki in warm light. At an LRV of 56.13, it reflects a moderate amount of light, functioning as a mid-tone that neither overwhelms nor recedes in standard room conditions. The green-brown balance keeps it from skewing too cool or too warm.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore White Dove as a clean trim contrast, Revere Pewter for a tonal neutral scheme, Hale Navy for darker grounding, Kendall Charcoal for deeper accents, and Edgecomb Gray for a lighter transitional companion.
