Bracken Slate
Benjamin Moore's Bracken Slate is a gray shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its neutral temperature leaves room for surrounding materials and light to pull the color warmer or cooler. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
