Benjamin Moore Gunmetal 1602 is a muted, medium-dark gray with a restrained blue-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or brown. Its low saturation gives walls a softened, weathered look, while the depth is substantial enough to define trim, built-ins, or exterior siding. In bright daylight, Gunmetal can appear like a cool charcoal-gray; under warm interior lighting, its blue-green undertones become quieter and the color looks more neutral. Pair it with crisp off-whites, pale gray stone, black metal hardware, or light oak for contrast. It is especially effective in offices, dining rooms, and cabinetry where a grounded gray is wanted without the heaviness of near-black.
