What color is Benjamin Moore Cape May Cobblestone?
Benjamin Moore Cape May Cobblestone 1474 is a muted, mid-light gray with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low-saturation character gives walls a gently weathered look, with the warmth becoming more noticeable in sunlit rooms and the gray side appearing stronger in cooler, shaded light. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without the creaminess of off-white. Pair Cape May Cobblestone with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel or aged brass hardware. This shade can also bring a grounded, understated finish to cabinetry or exterior siding when surrounded by clean white details.

LRV of Cape May Cobblestone
Cape May Cobblestone has an LRV of 40.14% 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 40.14%, 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.
