What color is Benjamin Moore Cosmopolitan?
Benjamin Moore Cosmopolitan CSP-100 is a light, muted gray-beige with a softly weathered stone appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly tan, while the gentle warmth prevents it from feeling stark or icy. In bright daylight, Cosmopolitan can look like a pale mineral gray with a beige cast; warmer evening lighting tends to bring out its creamy, taupe-leaning side. It is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan walls where a quiet neutral is needed without the crispness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and charcoal or deep olive accents for contrast.

LRV of Cosmopolitan
Cosmopolitan has an LRV of 46.47% 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 46.47%, 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.
