What color is Benjamin Moore Gray Shower?

Benjamin Moore Gray Shower 2125-30 is a medium-depth gray with a cool blue cast visible in its #6D7378 color value. It has enough saturation to read clearly on a wall rather than fading into the background, especially beside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, the blue-gray character may appear cleaner and lighter, while lower or warmer light can bring out its muted charcoal side. Use it in a bathroom, bedroom, office, or on cabinetry when you want a grounded cool gray that is not overly dark. Pair Gray Shower with soft white, pale blue, matte black hardware, brushed nickel, and light oak for a restrained, contemporary mix.

LRV of Gray Shower

Gray Shower has an LRV of 18.29% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.29%, 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.
