Wolf Gray

2127-40

Wolf Gray (BM) is a dark blue-gray with cool undertones, measured at an LRV of 21.19 and carrying hex #727C83. The LRV places it in the lower-mid range, meaning it absorbs a majority of incident light while retaining enough reflectance to read as a definite gray rather than near-black. Its blue bias is evident in the hex value, where the blue channel exceeds red.

Benjamin Moore pairings include Silver Satin, Stonington Gray, Chantilly Lace, Nimbus Gray, and Van Courtland Blue.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
