What color is Benjamin Moore Cromwell Gray?
Benjamin Moore Cromwell Gray HC-103 is a muted midtone gray with a brown-yellow cast that gives it an earthy, weathered look. It reads warmer than a straight charcoal or blue-gray, with enough softness to keep larger wall areas from feeling heavy. In cooler daylight, Cromwell Gray can appear more subdued and gray, while warm artificial light brings forward its khaki-brown undertones. Use it on living room walls, a study, or exterior trim alongside creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, and linen upholstery. Deep olive, charcoal, and dusty clay accents also sit comfortably beside this shade.

LRV of Cromwell Gray
Cromwell Gray has an LRV of 19.62% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 19.62%, 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.
