About Eagle Rock
Eagle Rock (1469) is a deep warm gray (greige) from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 23, Eagle Rock absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Eagle Rock's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. It's very close to Metropolis (CC-546); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
