Revere Pewter Benjamin Moore · HC-172 LRV 55
Revere Pewter review: Benjamin Moore HC-172
warm greige, green in some light.
A warm greige that can shift faintly green under fluorescent or LED lighting; still a safe, broadly flattering choice for living rooms with mixed natural and artificial light.
Revere Pewter in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Revere Pewter's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Revere Pewter looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Revere Pewter's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
What to pair Revere Pewter with
- White trim, the classic pairing that made it a 2010s staple
- Wood floors in a mid or dark tone
