What color is Benjamin Moore Nordic Gray?
Benjamin Moore Nordic Gray CC-576 is a muted, mid-tone gray with a noticeable warm beige-brown cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and earthy rather than sharply gray, giving walls a softened, weathered appearance. In bright natural light, Nordic Gray may read as a light warm greige, while lower or cooler light can bring out its deeper taupe-gray side. It suits living rooms, dining spaces, entryways, and bedrooms where crisp white trim would feel too stark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and stone for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Nordic Gray
Nordic Gray has an LRV of 28.53% 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 28.53%, 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.
