What color is Benjamin Moore Collingwood?

Benjamin Moore Collingwood OC-28 is a light, muted greige with a soft beige cast and a gentle gray backbone. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading strongly tan or distinctly cool, giving walls a quiet, softly shaded neutral look. In bright daylight, Collingwood can appear pale and lightly warm, while lower or cooler light may draw out more of its gray character. It suits living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and open-plan areas where a subtle neutral is needed without the starkness of a pure white. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

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 61.52%, 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.
