Benjamin Moore

Smokestack Gray

2131-40

Smokestack Gray has an LRV of 22.78 and presents as a deep gray with blue and green undertones woven into its base. These cooler undertones give it a slightly teal-leaning cast that becomes more apparent on large surfaces under natural daylight. In dimmer or warmer light the gray reads more neutral.

The color carries enough depth to anchor a room without the full weight of near-black. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist for lighter balance, Classic Gray on trim, Hale Navy in a tonal blue scheme, Silver Marlin as a mid-tone companion, and Boothbay Gray for an analogous pairing.
