What color is Benjamin Moore Antique Pewter?

Benjamin Moore Antique Pewter 1560 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable olive-khaki cast, reflected in its softened, earthy appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading as strongly green, while the slightly yellowed base makes it feel warmer than a typical charcoal or blue-gray. In bright daylight, this shade can appear like a weathered gray-green; under warm interior lighting, its khaki undertone may become more apparent. It suits studies, mudrooms, built-ins, and exterior trim where a grounded neutral has more character than plain gray. Pair Antique Pewter with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, blackened metal, or natural linen for a restrained, material-focused palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Antique Pewter undertones?

Antique Pewter reads as a midtone, very muted gray-green with a soft yellow-leaning cast in this digital sample. Its low saturation keeps the color subdued, so the green is present without looking bright or vivid. Benjamin Moore describes it as a green hue grounded by a touch of gray, which fits its visibly grayed main green family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed, earthy side, while cool daylight can make the gray-green character appear clearer.

LRV of Antique Pewter

Antique Pewter has an LRV of 25.4% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 25.4%, 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.
