What color is Benjamin Moore Anchor Gray?
Benjamin Moore Anchor Gray 2126-30 is a deep charcoal gray with a noticeable cool, blue-leaning cast. Its medium-dark value gives walls definition without reading as black, especially in rooms with generous natural light. In north-facing spaces or evening light, the blue-gray character can become more apparent, while warmer bulbs soften its crispness slightly. Use it on an office wall, built-in cabinetry, or a dining room for a grounded architectural contrast. Pair Anchor Gray with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm leather to keep the scheme from feeling too cold.

LRV of Anchor Gray
Anchor Gray has an LRV of 13.57% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.57%, 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.
