What color is Benjamin Moore Lead Gray?
Benjamin Moore Lead Gray 2131-30 is a deep, muted gray with a noticeable blue-green cast, reflected in its dark #434E52 color value. It reads cool and grounded on walls, bringing more blue-gray character in bright daylight while appearing moodier and closer to charcoal in lower light. Use it in a study, dining room, or bedroom where a darker wall color can add definition without looking flat. Lead Gray also suits cabinetry or an exterior front door, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and soft putty-colored textiles.

LRV of Lead Gray
Lead Gray has an LRV of 9.09% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.09%, 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.
