What color is Benjamin Moore Gibraltar Cliffs?

Benjamin Moore Gibraltar Cliffs 1587 is a muted mid-tone blue-gray with a soft, weathered cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than icy, while the nearly even blue and green-gray influence gives it a quiet mineral quality. In bright daylight, Gibraltar Cliffs can read as a clean gray with a cool blue undertone; under warmer lamps, it may appear slightly softer and more neutral. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, as well as painted cabinetry where a darker neutral would feel too heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a restrained, layered look.

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 31.77%, 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.
