What color is Benjamin Moore Charcoal Linen?
Benjamin Moore Charcoal Linen 2133-40 is a medium-depth gray with a restrained cool, blue-leaning cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading sharply industrial, giving walls a grounded, softened gray presence instead. In bright daylight, the subtle blue influence may be more noticeable, while lower or warmer lighting can make it appear closer to a balanced charcoal gray. Use it in a study, dining room, or bedroom for defined wall color, or on cabinetry where a darker neutral is wanted without going near-black. Pair Charcoal Linen with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal textiles, or warm tan leather for contrast.

LRV of Charcoal Linen
Charcoal Linen has an LRV of 21.95% 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 21.95%, 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.
