What color is Benjamin Moore Crownsville Gray?
Benjamin Moore Crownsville Gray HC-106 is a muted mid-tone gray with noticeable olive-brown undertones that keep it from reading cold or blue. Its earthy cast gives walls a grounded, slightly weathered look, especially beside warm white trim or natural oak. In brighter daylight, Crownsville Gray can show more of its dusty khaki character, while lower light brings out its deeper charcoal-taupe side. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior siding where a substantial neutral is needed without the starkness of near-black. Pair it with creamy whites, aged brass, blackened metal, linen upholstery, and stone or wood finishes with warm undertones.
LRV of Crownsville Gray
Crownsville Gray has an LRV of 21.96% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.96%, 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.
