Jerusalem Stone Gray draws from the dressed pale meleke limestone that, by the 1918 McLean master plan and Governor Storrs's facade ordinance, has clad every building in the city for a century. Read in its hand-tooled, shaded state, the stone is a cool neutral gray-beige — desaturated, never golden, never ivory. The system is civic and monumental: ashlar coursing, chiseled texture, engraved serif caps, and the deliberate calm of restrained masonry.
