What color is Benjamin Moore Bracken Slate?
Benjamin Moore Bracken Slate CW-690 is a muted, medium-dark gray with a faint cool cast created by its slightly blue-green balance. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and understated rather than overtly slate blue. In bright daylight, this color can read as a clean charcoal gray, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its softer, smokier side. Use Bracken Slate on cabinetry, an office wall, or an exterior accent where a deeper neutral is needed without the hardness of black. It pairs well with crisp white trim, pale concrete tones, natural oak, brushed nickel, and black metal details.

LRV of Bracken Slate
Bracken Slate has an LRV of 14.09% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.09%, 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.
