Benjamin Moore

Touch of Gray

2116-60

Touch of Gray (BM) is a pale violet-gray with a soft purple undertone that distinguishes it from a standard warm or cool gray. With an LRV of 68.78, it reflects a substantial amount of light and reads as a light, open tone on walls. The violet cast is subdued enough to function as a neutral in most lighting but becomes more perceptible under warm light sources.

Benjamin Moore's Classic Gray, Balboa Mist, Kendall Charcoal, Palladian Blue, and Soft Fern all coordinate well, offering tonal neutral and cool-contrast options.
