What color is Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray?
Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray HC-173 is a light, muted neutral with a soft beige-gray cast drawn from its pale #d9d3c4 value. It reads warmer than a true cool gray, with a subtle creamy, sand-toned undertone that keeps the color from feeling stark. In bright daylight, it can appear airy and lightly gray-beige, while lower or warmer lighting tends to bring out its gentle tan warmth. This shade is well suited to main walls in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a quiet, low-contrast backdrop is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Edgecomb Gray
Edgecomb Gray has an LRV of 63.09% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 63.09%, 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.
