What color is Benjamin Moore Pigeon Gray?
Benjamin Moore Pigeon Gray 2133-50 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable cool blue cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading icy, giving walls a soft, weathered-gray appearance rather than a sharp blue-gray finish. In daylight, the blue undertone is likely to be more apparent, while warmer artificial lighting can make the gray base feel gentler and more neutral. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details. Pigeon Gray can also give painted cabinetry a restrained hint of color without making the room feel dark.

LRV of Pigeon Gray
Pigeon Gray has an LRV of 42.18% 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 42.18%, 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.
