What color is Benjamin Moore Cliffside Gray?

Benjamin Moore Cliffside Gray HC-180 is a light, muted gray with a soft green cast visible in its #CCD0CA color value. It reads clean and understated on broad walls, with enough depth to stand apart from bright white trim without making a room feel dark. Daylight may bring out its gentle green-gray character, while warmer evening lighting can make it appear more neutral. Use it in kitchens, bedrooms, or living areas alongside warm whites, pale oak, limestone, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal details. This shade is especially well suited to walls and cabinetry where a quiet, low-saturation gray is wanted.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 60.56%, 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.
