Why do I love this shade? Boothbay Gray has the most beautiful sea glass quality which makes it perfect for everything from bedroom walls to kitchen cabinets or a bathroom vanity.
Pair with shades of teal, gold, and blush pink. For hardware try brass or antique gold metals. On trim, you can’t go wrong with a crisp white like Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or a soft white like Benjamin Moore Steam.
With an LRV (Light Reflective Value) just shy of 43, it has enough depth to feel moody but thanks to a hint of blue/green it doesn't feel heavy or gloomy. Technically, Boothbay Gray is a cool color but you will notice a slight green hint in rooms with direct sunlight. In north facing rooms, this color will look cooler with a more pronounced blue undertone.
