Benjamin Moore Old Salem Gray HC-94 is a muted, medium-light gray with a distinct khaki cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its earthy blend of gray, beige, and softened olive gives walls a grounded, lightly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, the warm tan side of the color becomes more noticeable, while lower or cooler light can bring forward its quiet gray-green undertone. Old Salem Gray suits living rooms, entryways, and studies where a neutral needs more character than a standard greige. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark brown wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, and natural linen or leather for a layered look.
