What color is Benjamin Moore Cinder?
Benjamin Moore Cinder AF-705 is a mid-tone gray with a subtle warm cast, reading slightly softer than a stark concrete gray. Its low-saturation character gives walls a grounded, even look without pulling strongly beige or blue. In bright daylight, Cinder can appear like a clean, weathered gray, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its muted warmth. It suits living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and exterior trim where a steady neutral is wanted. Pair it with off-white woodwork, charcoal details, natural oak, black metal, or stone finishes for a restrained, material-focused palette.

LRV of Cinder
Cinder has an LRV of 24.13% 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 24.13%, 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.
