What color is Benjamin Moore Englewood Cliffs?

Benjamin Moore Englewood Cliffs 1607 is a medium-depth gray with a noticeably cool, blue-leaning cast. Its low saturation keeps the color restrained rather than overtly blue, giving walls a clean, softly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, the blue-gray character is likely to appear clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can make it read as a quieter charcoal-gray. Use it in a home office, bathroom, or contemporary living room where a grounded cool neutral is wanted. Crisp white trim, pale stone, brushed nickel, black metal, and light oak provide fitting contrast, while muted navy or soft slate accents can deepen the palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Englewood Cliffs undertones?

Englewood Cliffs is a midtone, low-saturation blue-gray that reads close to neutral rather than strongly blue. In the supplied digital sample, the blue direction is subtle, so any undertone is best understood as a slight cool blue bias rather than a definite hidden color. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “mid-tone blue-gray,” which matches its visible gray main family with a restrained blue cast. Warm artificial light may soften the coolness and make it look grayer, while cool daylight can make the blue-gray character easier to notice.

LRV of Englewood Cliffs

Englewood Cliffs has an LRV of 23.83% 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 23.83%, 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.
