What color is Benjamin Moore Brewster Gray?
Benjamin Moore Brewster Gray HC-162 is a medium-depth gray with a muted blue-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or purely neutral. Its softened, low-saturation character gives walls definition without making a room feel dark. In bright daylight, the cool undertone is more noticeable, while warmer lamps can bring out its quieter gray side. Use it in a study, bathroom, mudroom, or on kitchen cabinetry with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and matte black details. Brewster Gray also suits an exterior with off-white siding accents and natural stone or charcoal roofing.

LRV of Brewster Gray
Brewster Gray has an LRV of 29.97% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.97%, 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.
