What color is Benjamin Moore Nimbus Gray?
Benjamin Moore Nimbus Gray 2131-50 is a light, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and soft, low-key saturation. Its blue undertone is noticeable without reading bright or icy, while the gray base keeps it grounded on broad wall surfaces. In daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly bluer; under warm bulbs, it may settle into a quieter, more neutral gray-blue. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing rooms where a gentle cool tone is welcome, and it can also give painted cabinetry a restrained, matte-looking presence. Pair Nimbus Gray with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or off-white textiles with subtle blue-gray patterning.

LRV of Nimbus Gray
Nimbus Gray has an LRV of 41.78% 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 41.78%, 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.
