Rainy Afternoon
There is more to Benjamin Moore Rainy Afternoon (1575) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. 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.
