Gray Horse

There is more to Benjamin Moore Gray Horse (2140-50) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. A yellow undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
