Edgecomb Gray
Benjamin Moore
HC-173
Edgecomb Gray is a light, warm greige that balances its beige and gray sides more evenly than most competitors, which is why it adapts to so many palettes. It is a standard whole-home wall color, frequently paired with White Dove trim, and it holds up well in open floor plans where light changes across the day. Pale Oak is its lighter sibling; Revere Pewter is the deeper one.

Is Edgecomb Gray warm or cool?
Edgecomb Gray is warm. It blends beige and gray with a soft, earthy undertone that rarely surprises, which is much of its appeal. The LRV is approximately 65, putting it in the light-but-visible range: bright rooms keep it airy while dim rooms pull it toward a true greige. It plays well with warm whites on trim and tolerates both warm wood floors and cooler stone, making it a safe connector color through hallways and shared spaces.
Why does Edgecomb Gray look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #D9D3C4 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Edgecomb Gray have?
Edgecomb Gray has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 65, meaning it reflects about 65% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
