What color is Benjamin Moore Flint?
Benjamin Moore Flint AF-560 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a quiet charcoal cast. Its slight coolness is most noticeable in daylight, where the blue-green edge can read more clearly, while warmer lamps soften it toward a balanced dark gray. This shade has enough depth for a dramatic study, dining room, or exterior trim without appearing black. Use it on cabinetry or an accent wall with warm white paint, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen to keep the overall scheme grounded. Flint also pairs well with softened stone tones and clean off-whites that give its restrained color variation room to show.

LRV of Flint
Flint has an LRV of 11.96% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.96%, 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.
