What color is Benjamin Moore Gray Mist?
Benjamin Moore Gray Mist OC-30 is a pale, low-saturation neutral with a soft beige cast and a subtle warmth drawn from its creamy off-white base. Its light value keeps walls airy, while the muted gray influence prevents it from reading as overtly yellow. In bright natural light, Gray Mist can appear closer to a gentle ivory-gray; lower or warmer lighting may bring out more of its beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a quiet neutral is needed without the sharpness of a pure white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, or deeper charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Gray Mist undertones?
Gray Mist OC-30 reads as a light, very muted off-white with a soft greige character rather than a clear gray or beige. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle bias leans yellow, which can make the color appear slightly warmer than a stark neutral white, though that bias is faint. Benjamin Moore describes it as having “hushed greige tones,” aligning with its visible blend of gray softness and warm off-white influence. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its gentle warmth, while cool daylight can make its gray side appear a little more noticeable.

LRV of Gray Mist
Gray Mist has an LRV of 72.83% 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 72.83%, 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.
