What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Pewter?

Benjamin Moore Dark Pewter 2122-10 is a deep, muted blue-green gray with a cool, mineral-like cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than boldly teal, while the near-black depth gives it strong visual weight on walls, cabinetry, or a front door. In bright daylight, its blue-green undertones may read more clearly; under warm artificial light, it can appear closer to softened charcoal. Pair Dark Pewter with crisp off-whites, pale gray stone, natural oak, or brushed nickel to underline its cool character. It is especially effective in a study, powder room, or kitchen island where a dark finish can define the space without looking stark.

What are Benjamin Moore Dark Pewter undertones?

Dark Pewter is a deep, very muted blue-gray with a subtle teal-leaning cast in the supplied digital sample. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “dark blue-gray,” which fits its visible blue-gray main family; the slight green-teal bias is subtle rather than a strong separate undertone. Its low saturation keeps it close to charcoal-gray at a glance, especially in lower light. Warm artificial light may make the grayness feel a little softer, while cool daylight can make its blue-teal lean more noticeable.

LRV of Dark Pewter

Dark Pewter has an LRV of 10.79% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

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 10.79%, 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.
