More about Collingwood
Collingwood is one of Benjamin Moore's most popular soft greiges — a light, gentle gray-beige at LRV 63 with a barely-there violet warmth that keeps it soft and livable. It's the easygoing, can't-go-wrong neutral for people who find Revere Pewter too deep or too green.
Its lightness makes it forgiving in most rooms, though the faint violet base can surface in cool light. It pairs with warm and cool whites alike. It's a near-exact match for Sherwin-Williams Gossamer Veil, and very close to Behr Toasty Gray.
