What color is Benjamin Moore Nocturnal Gray?
Benjamin Moore Nocturnal Gray 2135-30 is a muted, medium-dark blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly navy, while a slight green-gray influence gives the color a weathered, mineral-like quality. In bright daylight, Nocturnal Gray can appear clearer and bluer; under warm lamps, it settles into a softer charcoal-gray. Use it on a home office, dining room, or built-in cabinetry where a deeper color can add definition without becoming black. It pairs well with chalky whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, matte black hardware, and warm tan leather.

LRV of Nocturnal Gray
Nocturnal Gray has an LRV of 13.81% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.81%, 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.
