Meditation
Meditation is a Gray paint color from Benjamin Moore, but its character reaches beyond a single label. Its beige, greige and yellow classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Move between the room imagery, color measurements and coordinating shades to build a fuller sense of how it might live in your space.
