What color is Benjamin Moore Paris Rain?
Benjamin Moore Paris Rain 1501 is a softly muted light gray-beige with a noticeable khaki-olive cast beneath its pale surface. Its low saturation keeps it restrained rather than creamy, giving walls a gently weathered, mineral quality. In bright natural light, Paris Rain can read as a quiet warm gray, while lower or north-facing light may bring out more of its greened beige undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where crisp white trim would feel too sharp, and it also has enough depth for subdued cabinetry. Pair it with off-white linen, light oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deeper olive-gray textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Paris Rain
Paris Rain has an LRV of 52.69% 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 52.69%, 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.
