What color is Benjamin Moore La Paloma Gray?
Benjamin Moore La Paloma Gray 1551 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low-saturation finish gives walls a soft, gently weathered look, especially alongside warm white trim and natural oak. In bright daylight, La Paloma Gray can appear like a pale warm gray, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out more of its taupe-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a quiet neutral is needed without the sharper contrast of a cooler gray. Pair it with linen upholstery, aged brass, creamy whites, charcoal details, or medium-toned wood for a grounded, layered palette.

LRV of La Paloma Gray
La Paloma Gray has an LRV of 45.62% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 45.62%, 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.
