What color is Benjamin Moore Dolphin?
Benjamin Moore Dolphin AF-715 is a muted medium gray with a subtle warm, earthy cast rather than a crisp blue-gray look. Its low-saturation character gives it a softened, slightly weathered appearance that can read as gray-beige in warm daylight and more neutral in cooler light. It has enough depth for living room walls, bedrooms, or a study without making the room feel overly dark. Pair Dolphin with off-white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or black metal details for a grounded palette. On cabinetry or an exterior accent, this color is especially effective alongside warm white and natural stone.

LRV of Dolphin
Dolphin has an LRV of 23.71% 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 23.71%, 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.
