What color is Benjamin Moore Pelican Gray?
Benjamin Moore Pelican Gray 1612 is a light, softly cool gray with a subtle blue cast visible beneath its muted surface. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet and airy rather than noticeably blue, making it especially useful for larger wall areas. In daylight, Pelican Gray can read as a clean blue-gray, while warmer evening lighting tends to soften it toward a more neutral pale gray. Try it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or living rooms with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. It also suits cabinetry or exterior siding when paired with deep navy details and off-white architectural elements.

LRV of Pelican Gray
Pelican Gray has an LRV of 58.58% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 58.58%, 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.
