What color is Benjamin Moore Pearl River?
Benjamin Moore Pearl River 871 is a very light gray with a soft, cool-leaning cast drawn from its near-even mix of pale gray tones. It reads clean and understated on walls, especially in rooms with daylight, where its faint blue-green edge may become more noticeable. In warmer artificial light, Pearl River can appear closer to a gentle off-white gray rather than a distinctly cool color. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or open living areas alongside crisp white trim, brushed nickel, pale oak, and charcoal accents. Its low saturation also makes it a useful backdrop for natural stone, soft blue textiles, and darker painted cabinetry.

LRV of Pearl River
Pearl River has an LRV of 73.11% and refers to Off‑White 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 73.11%, 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.
