Benjamin Moore

Rock Gray

1615

Rock Gray is a cool blue-gray with an LRV of 23.77, placing it in the lower-mid reflectance range where it reads as a definitive medium-dark tone. The blue undertone is steady and noticeable, preventing this color from sliding into a warm taupe territory. In low light, it can appear heavier and more uniformly dark, while ample daylight reveals its blue component more clearly.

Pair it with Chantilly Lace for crisp light-dark contrast, soften it alongside Silver Satin, deepen a scheme with Newburyport Blue or Hale Navy, and introduce warmth through Saybrook Sage.

Rock Gray in Different Light
