What color is Benjamin Moore Delray Gray?

Benjamin Moore Delray Gray 1614 is a medium-light gray with a quiet blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or beige. Its low-saturation character gives walls a soft, gently weathered look, especially in rooms with ample daylight. Under cooler north-facing light, the blue-gray aspect may appear more noticeable, while warmer lamps can make the color seem more neutral. Delray Gray suits bedrooms, home offices, and living areas, and it can also lend painted cabinetry a restrained, contemporary finish. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal textiles, or deep navy accents for a layered gray-blue palette.

LRV of Delray Gray

Delray Gray has an LRV of 34.93% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 34.93%, 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.
