What color is Benjamin Moore Granite?

Benjamin Moore Granite AF-660 is a muted, medium-depth gray with a subtle warm cast that keeps it from reading cold or bluish. Its low saturation gives it a softened, slightly weathered appearance, with faint taupe-brown notes visible beside crisp white trim or cooler gray finishes. In north-facing rooms it can appear more neutral and charcoal-leaning, while warm afternoon light brings out its earthy side. Use Granite on cabinetry, a dining room wall, or an exterior accent where a grounded gray is wanted without the starkness of near-black. It pairs naturally with off-white, black hardware, pale oak, aged brass, and textured stone.

LRV of Granite

Granite has an LRV of 21.95% 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 21.95%, 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.
