Benjamin Moore

Smoke & Mirrors

CSP-105

Smoke Gray is a dark gray carrying distinct blue undertones that become more prominent under cooler lighting. With an LRV of 21.08, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as heavy and saturated on large wall surfaces. The blue cast distinguishes it from warmer charcoals and places it in a cooler tonal family.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove for high contrast trim, Classic Gray as a lighter wall companion, Hale Navy for a tonal blue pairing, Soft Fern to introduce a muted green counterpoint, and Harbor Haze for a lighter blue-gray transition.
