What color is Benjamin Moore City Shadow?
Benjamin Moore City Shadow CSP-60 is a low-saturation, medium-dark gray with an almost even balance of red, green, and blue, giving it a restrained neutral cast. In daylight, it reads as a clear charcoal-gray rather than a strongly blue or brown shade. The color’s depth makes it effective on a study wall, a dining room, or built-in cabinetry where a lighter gray might feel too faint. Pair City Shadow with crisp white trim, pale oak, black metal, or softly textured stone for contrast. In dimmer rooms, this shade can appear deeper and more enveloping, so it is especially useful when a defined, grounded backdrop is wanted.

LRV of City Shadow
City Shadow has an LRV of 13.93% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.93%, 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.
