What color is Benjamin Moore Porch Swing?

Benjamin Moore Porch Swing CSP-750 is a muted, medium-deep gray with a clear cool green-blue cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and earthy rather than bright, giving walls a weathered, mineral-like presence. In daylight, Porch Swing can read as a soft greened gray, while lower or warmer light tends to draw out its charcoal side. It suits studies, mudrooms, powder rooms, and built-in cabinetry where a darker neutral can add definition without looking black. Pair it with chalky off-whites, pale oak, aged brass, matte black hardware, or stone finishes with gray and green undertones.

LRV of Porch Swing

Porch Swing has an LRV of 20.4% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 20.4%, 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.
