What color is Benjamin Moore Old Salem Gray?
Benjamin Moore Old Salem Gray HC-94 is a muted, medium-light gray with a distinct khaki cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its earthy blend of gray, beige, and softened olive gives walls a grounded, lightly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, the warm tan side of the color becomes more noticeable, while lower or cooler light can bring forward its quiet gray-green undertone. Old Salem Gray suits living rooms, entryways, and studies where a neutral needs more character than a standard greige. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark brown wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, and natural linen or leather for a layered look.

LRV of Old Salem Gray
Old Salem Gray has an LRV of 31.95% 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 31.95%, 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.
