What color is Benjamin Moore Nantucket Gray?
Benjamin Moore Nantucket Gray HC-111 is a muted, mid-tone gray-beige with a noticeable olive cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it grounded and earthy rather than stark, making it especially effective in rooms with natural wood, aged brass, linen, or stone. In bright daylight, the soft green-gray undertone may come forward, while lower or warmer light can make the color read more khaki and taupe. Nantucket Gray suits living room walls, mudroom cabinetry, or exterior siding where a quiet, weathered neutral feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep charcoal accents, and warm oak for a layered, natural-looking palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Nantucket Gray undertones?
Nantucket Gray is a mid-light, muted gray-green with a soft yellow-olive cast rather than a crisp blue-gray look. The supplied digital sample reads low in saturation, so it has a subdued neutral character while still showing some warmth from its yellow direction. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “gray-green,” which aligns with the visible gray base and green-leaning bias; the sample’s yellow influence can make that green feel more earthy than cool. Warm artificial light may bring out its yellowed, olive side, while cool daylight may make the gray-green character appear clearer.

LRV of Nantucket Gray
Nantucket Gray has an LRV of 39.83% 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 39.83%, 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.
