Benjamin Moore

Cromwell Gray

HC-103 / 1539

Cromwell Gray is a dark neutral with clearly visible brown and green undertones that distinguish it from a pure gray. Its LRV of 19.62 indicates that it absorbs a significant amount of light, making it read as a decidedly deep tone on walls. This shade is well suited to libraries, dining rooms, and living spaces where a heavier anchor color is needed.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray for tonal layering, and contrasts effectively against lighter options like White Dove or Pale Oak.
