What color is Benjamin Moore Gray Lake?
Benjamin Moore Gray Lake 2138-70 is a very light, muted gray with a soft green cast visible beneath its pale surface. The #E4E8E2 value gives it a cool-leaning, low-saturation appearance that can read almost off-white in bright daylight. In lower or warmer light, its green-gray character becomes more noticeable without turning dark or heavy. Use it on bedroom, bath, or living room walls when a crisp white feels too stark, or on cabinetry for a subtle wash of color. It pairs especially well with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and natural stone with gray or green veining.

LRV of Gray Lake
Gray Lake has an LRV of 78.79% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 78.79%, 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.
