What color is Benjamin Moore Gray Cashmere?

Benjamin Moore Gray Cashmere 2138-60 is a pale, low-saturation gray with a noticeable soft green cast. Its light value keeps walls looking airy, while the muted undertone gives it more character than a plain cool gray. In daylight, the green-gray quality is likely to read more clearly; under warm lamps, it can appear quieter and closer to a gentle neutral. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas where a light wall color is wanted without a stark white effect. Gray Cashmere pairs well with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, and natural linen upholstery.

What are Benjamin Moore Gray Cashmere undertones?

Gray Cashmere is a light, very muted gray-green with low saturation and a soft, airy overall look. The supplied digital sample reads mainly as a pale gray, with a subtle green and slightly yellow-leaning bias rather than a strong, distinct undertone. Benjamin Moore describes it as having notes of green and gray, which matches its visible gray main family and gentle green cast. Warm artificial light may make its slight yellow-green bias feel a bit more noticeable, while cool daylight may keep the gray-green character cleaner and more restrained.

LRV of Gray Cashmere

Gray Cashmere has an LRV of 64.53% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 64.53%, 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.
