Benjamin Moore

Graphite

1603

Graphite is a deep neutral gray with subtle cool undertones, reading close to charcoal on most surfaces. With an LRV of 7.59, it absorbs significant light and creates a grounded, subdued atmosphere in any room. This shade works well for cabinetry, accent walls, or trim applications in spaces with adequate natural or artificial lighting.

Graphite pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray, White Dove, and Stonington Gray for lighter contrast. For richer combinations, consider Newburg Green or Revere Pewter to add warmth and dimension to the overall color scheme.
