What color is Benjamin Moore Brushed Aluminum?
Benjamin Moore Brushed Aluminum 1485 is a light, muted gray with a soft beige cast and a faint green-gray undertone. Its low saturation keeps it gentle rather than stark, making it a useful alternative to crisper cool grays. In daylight, the color can read as a pale warm gray, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its subdued khaki-beige notes. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, or brushed nickel details can reinforce its quiet, natural palette. Brushed Aluminum also makes a restrained cabinet or exterior neutral when paired with deeper charcoal, olive, or off-white accents.

LRV of Brushed Aluminum
Brushed Aluminum has an LRV of 55.43% 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 55.43%, 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.
