What color is Benjamin Moore Ashwood Gray?
Benjamin Moore Ashwood Gray 1654 is a light, cool blue-gray with a softly muted appearance. Its #B9D3DA color value gives it a noticeable airy blue cast, tempered by gray rather than reading as a bright pastel. On walls, it can make bathrooms, bedrooms, and sunlit sitting rooms feel clean and open; lower light may bring its gray side forward. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded contrast. This shade is especially effective across broad wall surfaces where its quiet blue-gray character has room to show.

LRV of Ashwood Gray
Ashwood Gray has an LRV of 61.35% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 61.35%, 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.
