What color is Benjamin Moore Hampshire Gray?
Benjamin Moore Hampshire Gray HC-101 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable khaki cast, shaped by soft olive and brown undertones. Its low-saturation color keeps it grounded rather than strongly green, giving walls a weathered, earthy appearance. In brighter natural light, Hampshire Gray can read as a faded warm gray, while lower light brings out its deeper olive-taupe side. It suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and exterior siding where a substantial neutral is wanted without using charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark bronze hardware, natural oak, aged brass, and stone or linen textures.

LRV of Hampshire Gray
Hampshire Gray has an LRV of 25.45% and refers to Medium 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 25.45%, 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.
