What color is Benjamin Moore Gray Wisp?

Benjamin Moore Gray Wisp 1570 is a light, muted gray-green with a softened, slightly cool cast. Its low-saturation character keeps the color from reading overtly green, while the pale value gives walls a gentle, airy presence. In daylight, Gray Wisp can look cleaner and more silvery; under warmer bulbs, its green undertone may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where a quiet alternative to plain gray is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a restrained, layered palette.

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 54.43%, 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.
