What color is Benjamin Moore Mt. Rainier Gray?

Benjamin Moore Mt. Rainier Gray 2129-60 is a light, cool gray with a noticeable blue cast that keeps it looking clean rather than flat. Its pale value gives walls an airy appearance, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, or hallways with ample daylight. Under cooler north-facing light, the blue-gray character may become more pronounced, while warmer bulbs can soften the color slightly. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, brushed nickel, and pale oak for a restrained, contemporary palette. Mt. Rainier Gray also suits cabinetry or a painted ceiling when a subtle wash of blue-gray is wanted without creating strong contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Mt. Rainier Gray undertones?

Mt. Rainier Gray is a light, very muted blue-gray with low saturation and a soft, airy overall character. In the supplied digital sample, the blue direction is subtle, with a slight green-leaning cast that can make it read cooler than a typical neutral gray. Benjamin Moore describes it as bringing together “touches of icy blue and sleek gray,” which matches its visibly gray main family with a restrained blue influence. Warm artificial light may soften and slightly mute the cool blue-gray impression, while cool daylight can make its blue cast more noticeable.

LRV of Mt. Rainier Gray

Mt. Rainier Gray has an LRV of 59.48% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.48%, 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.
