Benjamin Moore

Seattle Gray

2130-70

Seattle Gray is a pale silver-blue with an LRV of 72.9, giving it strong light-reflective properties while maintaining a visible cool cast. The blue undertone is restrained and leans slightly toward lavender under certain warm light sources, though in daylight it reads as a clean, quiet blue-gray. It functions effectively as a near-neutral on walls where a pure white would feel too stark.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray pair well for trim without introducing competing undertones. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer strong value contrast, while Soft Fern brings a complementary green-gray balance.
