What color is Benjamin Moore Bennington Gray?
Benjamin Moore Bennington Gray HC-82 is a light, muted beige-gray with a noticeable warm cast. Its softly weathered look comes from low saturation rather than strong grayness, so it reads more like a natural stone or aged linen tone than a crisp neutral. In daylight, the warm beige notes are likely to be more apparent, while lower or cooler light can bring out its subdued gray side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is needed without the starkness of off-white. Pair it with creamy trim, warm oak, tan leather, brushed brass, or deeper charcoal-brown accents for grounded contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Bennington Gray undertones?
Bennington Gray reads as a mid-light, muted greige with a noticeable beige-yellow cast rather than a crisp gray appearance. In the supplied digital sample, its relative bias leans yellow, giving the neutral base a gently warm overall character. Benjamin Moore describes it as an adaptable greige with nuanced warm and cool undertones; that description fits a color whose visible beige warmth can still retain some gray restraint. Warm artificial light may emphasize its beige side, while cool daylight can make the gray aspect appear more apparent.

LRV of Bennington Gray
Bennington Gray has an LRV of 46.68% 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 46.68%, 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.
