What color is Benjamin Moore Mineral Alloy?
Benjamin Moore Mineral Alloy 1622 is a muted medium blue-gray with a noticeably cool cast and enough gray to keep it from reading bright or nautical. Its softened, low-saturation look makes it a practical wall color for bedrooms, home offices, and bathrooms where a clearer blue might feel too active. In cool daylight, the blue tone becomes more apparent, while warmer evening lighting draws out its quieter gray side. Pair Mineral Alloy with clean off-whites, deep charcoal accents, pale oak, or walnut for contrast that feels grounded rather than stark. It can also give built-in cabinetry or an exterior front door a restrained color statement.

LRV of Mineral Alloy
Mineral Alloy has an LRV of 28.46% 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 28.46%, 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.
