What color is Benjamin Moore Coastal Fog?
Benjamin Moore Coastal Fog 976 is a light, muted beige with a soft gray cast and a noticeable warm, sandy undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading too yellow, giving walls a gently weathered, natural look rather than a creamy one. In bright daylight, Coastal Fog can appear like a pale warm greige, while lower or cooler light brings its gray-beige side forward. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass add welcome texture around the color. For a grounded palette, pair it with chalky off-whites, deeper mushroom browns, or dusty blue-gray accents.

LRV of Coastal Fog
Coastal Fog has an LRV of 52.71% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 52.71%, 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.
