What color is Benjamin Moore Gull Wing Gray?

Benjamin Moore Gull Wing Gray 2134-50 is a light-to-medium gray with a gently cool, blue-leaning cast visible in its #A7AEB0 color value. It has enough depth to define a room without making walls feel heavy, particularly in spaces with ample daylight. In cooler north-facing light, the blue-gray character may read more clearly, while warmer bulbs can soften it toward a quieter neutral gray. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or living room walls with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. This shade can also suit cabinetry when paired with warmer stone or wood to keep the overall palette from feeling too cool.

LRV of Gull Wing Gray

Gull Wing Gray has an LRV of 41.78% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 41.78%, 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.
