Tweed Coat

CSP-85

Tweed Coat (BM) is a neutral gray with warm brown undertones and an LRV of 23.19. At hex #878279, it falls into the darker mid-tone range, carrying enough warmth to avoid reading as a stark or cold gray. The brown lean becomes more apparent when placed next to pure cool grays.

Tweed Coat functions as a grounding neutral and pairs with Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter, Balboa Mist, Kendall Charcoal, Simply White, and Chantilly Lace across both warm and neutral palettes.
