What color is Benjamin Moore Colorado Gray?
Benjamin Moore Colorado Gray 2136-50 is a muted blue-gray with a soft, misty cast rather than a stark concrete look. Its #9EB5B8 color value gives it a light-to-mid depth and gentle saturation, so it reads calm and airy on broad wall surfaces. The blue influence is most noticeable in cooler daylight, while warm lamps can bring out a slightly softer gray-green edge. Colorado Gray suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a cooler wall color can feel clean without becoming icy. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Colorado Gray
Colorado Gray has an LRV of 44.16% 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 44.16%, 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.
