What color is Benjamin Moore Clarksville Gray?
Benjamin Moore Clarksville Gray HC-102 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable warm beige cast. Its softened, slightly earthy appearance keeps it from reading stark, making it a practical option for living rooms, halls, and bedrooms that need more depth than an off-white. In bright daylight, Clarksville Gray can show its sandy warmth, while lower or cooler light may bring out its quieter gray side. Pair it with creamy whites, weathered wood, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a layered, grounded look. It also has enough body for cabinetry or an exterior trim color when a pale neutral would feel too faint.

LRV of Clarksville Gray
Clarksville Gray has an LRV of 39.57% 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 39.57%, 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.
