Cement Gray

Benjamin Moore · 2112-60

The Analysis

Cement Gray acts as a neutral bridge that keeps a room feeling balanced and stable. With an LRV of 60.43, it reflects a moderate amount of light, preventing the space from feeling cave-like while avoiding the stark glare of lighter whites.

This is a reliable workhorse shade that functions best as a whole-room wall color. It serves as a neutral backdrop, allowing your furniture and artwork to stand out without the paint color competing for attention.

LRV 60

History & Origin

It leans into a modern, streamlined aesthetic rather than a period-specific look. It fits perfectly into contemporary urban design where clean lines and functional surfaces are the priority.

How to Use It

It excels in living rooms and kitchens, especially when paired with natural oak wood tones or matte black metal hardware. The gray adds enough depth to make white trim pop without creating an overly dramatic contrast.

The Mood

Living with this color feels professional and grounded rather than stimulating. It provides a restful, low-maintenance environment that helps minimize visual clutter in busy areas of the home.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
