What color is Benjamin Moore Asphalt?

Benjamin Moore Asphalt CC-548 is a medium-depth gray with a faint warm, earthy cast that keeps it from reading stark or blue. Its muted character suits living room walls, entryways, and bedrooms where a grounded neutral is wanted without moving fully into beige. In bright daylight, Asphalt can appear like a soft weathered gray, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its subtle taupe-leaning undertone. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal details for a layered, material-focused look. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent when balanced with lighter trim.

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 21.27%, 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.
