What color is Benjamin Moore Gentleman's Gray?
Benjamin Moore Gentleman's Gray 2062-20 is a deep blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and muted, inky depth. Its #304656 color value reads as a dark slate blue, bringing more color than a standard charcoal while avoiding a bright navy look. In strong daylight, the blue character is easier to notice; lower light makes it appear denser and closer to charcoal. Use it on study walls, dining room cabinetry, built-ins, or a front door where a dark finish can provide definition without looking black. Crisp white trim, pale gray stone, brushed nickel, and natural oak give this shade a clean, grounded setting.

LRV of Gentleman's Gray
Gentleman's Gray has an LRV of 7.26% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.26%, 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.
