What color is Benjamin Moore Annapolis Gray?
Benjamin Moore Annapolis Gray HC-176 is a light, muted gray-beige with a noticeable warm cast. Its soft taupe undertone keeps it from reading stark or icy, while the restrained saturation gives walls a gently weathered, plaster-like appearance. In bright daylight, it can look like a pale greige; lower or warmer artificial light tends to bring out more of its beige side. Annapolis Gray is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a quiet neutral is needed without turning the room white. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and charcoal or deep brown accents for contrast.

LRV of Annapolis Gray
Annapolis Gray has an LRV of 50.72% 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 50.72%, 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.
