Benjamin Moore

Wedgewood Gray

HC-146

Wedgewood Gray (HC-146) by Benjamin Moore is a muted blue-gray that leans decidedly blue despite its name, carrying a subtle green undertone that broadens its application across varied interior styles. It registers an LRV of 49.59, placing it in the mid-tone range where it reflects moderate light while retaining visual weight. The green shift distinguishes it from purely cool blues, allowing compatibility with both warm and cool palettes.

Suitable pairings within the Benjamin Moore line include White Dove, Simply White, Palladian Blue, Revere Pewter, and Hale Navy.
