A match of Benjamin Moore GN-46 is a muted, medium-light warm neutral with a gray-beige body and a restrained earthy undertone. The low chroma keeps it soft rather than crisp, so it reads as a subdued neutral instead of a clean beige or a cool gray. With an LRV of 45.27, it has enough depth to avoid looking washed out.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore GN-46 reference is practical for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving brackets, railings, mailboxes, cabinet knobs, and PVC trim pieces. It also works well on framed accessories, basket hardware, appliance panels, and other small removable parts where a spray finish gives more even coverage than brushing.

Because the color is fairly subdued, it usually covers more predictably than vivid colors, but substrate color and surface texture still matter. Dark, glossy, or uneven surfaces may need proper prep and enough film build to keep the gray-beige reading consistent. Different sheen levels can make the color appear slightly warmer or cooler, so the final look may shift with finish, lighting, and application.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ GN-46 *

Will GN-46 look the same in matte and gloss if I order a MyPerfectColor match?

No. A match of Benjamin Moore GN-46 is the same color reference, but the finish can change how it reads after application. Matte, satin, and gloss all reflect light differently, so the matched color can look flatter, deeper, or brighter depending on sheen and substrate.

If the GN-46 item will sit next to an existing painted surface, choose the finish carefully because gloss level can make the difference more noticeable.

Where do I find the SDS for GN-46 when ordering a MyPerfectColor product?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Benjamin Moore GN-46 color name alone. To find it, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product format you plan to order.

How much MyPerfectColor product do I need for a GN-46 project?

Coverage for GN-46 depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, one can typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

If the GN-46 item has texture, edges, or a strong color contrast underneath, plan for extra material because coverage can drop as the surface gets more demanding.

How do I confirm GN-46 is the right Benjamin Moore color before I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm GN-46 from a physical swatch, a known existing sample, or another reliable original-brand color reference before ordering. Screen colors can shift, and MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color standard, not the look of a photo on your device.

If you are matching GN-46 to an existing part or surface, verify that the reference is really GN-46 before you place the order, since a similar-looking screen color may not be the same target.

Which finish should I choose for GN-46 when ordering from MyPerfectColor?

Choose the finish based on how the GN-46 item will be used and how you want the surface to look. Lower sheen usually hides surface texture better, while higher sheen reflects more light and can make the same matched color read differently on the finished part.

For Benjamin Moore colors like GN-46, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options, so select from the non-housepaint formats that fit your project, such as custom spray paint or other specialty formats.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore GN-46 to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore GN-46 in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
