Benjamin Moore

Shadow Gray

2125-40

Shadow Gray is a cool medium gray with noticeable blue undertones that become more apparent under natural daylight. At an LRV of 39.53, it sits in the mid-range, reflecting enough light to keep a room from feeling closed in while still providing a definite color presence on walls. The blue cast distinguishes it from warmer grays and gives it a slightly steely quality.

It coordinates well with White Dove for trim, pairs cleanly with Gray Owl in adjacent spaces, and works alongside Hale Navy, Smoke, and Silver Mist for layered cool-toned schemes.
