Stonington Gray

Stonington Gray is a Gray paint color from Benjamin Moore, but its character reaches beyond a single label. It appears in Historical Colors, placing it within several distinct decorating stories rather than a single fixed look. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
