What color is Benjamin Moore Horizon Gray?

Benjamin Moore Horizon Gray 2141-50 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable softened green-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading stark or icy, giving walls a gently weathered, organic look. In bright daylight, the pale gray base is most apparent, while lower or warmer light can draw out its subtle olive undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair Horizon Gray with deeper charcoal, inky blue, or dark olive accents rather than crisp blue-grays.

Horizon Gray is a mid-light, very muted straw beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Horizon Gray

Horizon Gray has an LRV of 50.68% 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 50.68%, 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.
