What color is Benjamin Moore Gray Mirage?
Benjamin Moore Gray Mirage 2142-50 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable beige cast and a soft yellow-green undertone. Its low saturation keeps it understated rather than overtly khaki, giving walls a gently weathered, organic look. In bright daylight, this color can read as a pale warm gray, while lower or cooler light may bring out its subdued olive-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral with more character than plain gray is wanted. Pair Gray Mirage with creamy whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and deeper charcoal or olive accents.

LRV of Gray Mirage
Gray Mirage has an LRV of 53.78% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 53.78%, 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.
