About Ashwood Moss
Ashwood Moss (1484) is a very dark warm gray (greige) from Benjamin Moore with a green-yellow (khaki) undertone. With an LRV of 10, Ashwood Moss absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Ashwood Moss's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. Next to Randolph Gray (CW-85), it's cooler.
How Ashwood Moss changes with the light
Ashwood Moss is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.
North-facing rooms
Ashwood Moss will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Ashwood Moss will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
South light keeps Ashwood Moss from feeling heavy, so deep colors work well here.
West-facing rooms
Ashwood Moss looks cool in the morning and warms up in the golden late-afternoon light.
