Benjamin Moore

Rocky Coast

1595

Rocky Coast is a deep, cool gray with an LRV of 17.28, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a heavy, grounding tone on walls. Its cool undertones pull slightly blue-green under daylight, while under warm incandescent light the color softens toward a more neutral charcoal. Silver Marlin provides a lighter continuation of its cool gray family, and Hale Navy offers a deep complementary pairing.

Simply White and Dove Wing serve as high-contrast trim colors that prevent the depth from closing in a room. Blue Echo extends the cool palette in an analogous direction.

Rocky Coast in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
