What color is Benjamin Moore After the Rain?
Benjamin Moore After the Rain 1452 is a light, muted gray with a subtle mauve-gray cast visible beneath its soft surface. Its low saturation keeps it quiet on broad walls, while the hint of violet-pink prevents it from reading as a flat concrete gray. In cooler daylight, After the Rain can appear more silvery and reserved; warmer bulbs tend to bring out its gentle rosy undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living areas with white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Pair it with creamy off-whites and natural linen for a softer look, or use deep plum and near-black details to make its undertone more noticeable.

LRV of After the Rain
After the Rain has an LRV of 49.66% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 49.66%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
