What color is Benjamin Moore Raindance?

Benjamin Moore Raindance 1572 is a muted light gray-green with a soft, mineral cast. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on the wall, while the green undertone gives it more character than a standard pale gray. In daylight, Raindance can read airy and gently cool; under warmer lamps, its gray base becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces where natural wood, linen, aged brass, or creamy white trim are part of the palette. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal accents, or medium oak for contrast without making the room feel overly crisp.

What are Benjamin Moore Raindance undertones?

Raindance reads as a mid-light, very muted green-gray with a soft, low-saturation appearance. The supplied digital color leans subtly green, though the bias is restrained enough that it can read grayer in some settings. Benjamin Moore describes it as a steely green with gray undertones, which aligns with the visibly green main family being softened by a strong gray cast. Warm artificial light may make it appear a little less cool and more neutral, while cool daylight can make its muted green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Raindance

Raindance has an LRV of 43.47% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 43.47%, 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.
