Moonshine
Benjamin Moore
OC-56
Moonshine is a light gray with a cool cast and a subtle green undertone that keeps it lively rather than flat. It suits bedrooms, hallways, and open living areas where a true light gray is wanted without blue frost. It is a half-step deeper than ceiling-light whites, so walls keep gentle definition against white trim.

What is the Farrow & Ball equivalent of Moonshine?
The closest Farrow & Ball match for Moonshine is Pale Powder No. 204 (#D5DAD1). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Moonshine warm or cool?
Moonshine is a cool light gray. A soft green undertone sits beneath the gray and shows mainly in bright daylight. At an LRV of approximately 68, it stays luminous in most rooms while reading distinctly gray next to white trim. North-facing rooms will push it cooler and slightly steely, so in those spaces balance it with warm woods or consider a warmer gray altogether.
Why does Moonshine 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 #D6D8CF as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Moonshine have?
Moonshine has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 68, meaning it reflects about 68% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
