What color is Benjamin Moore Richmond Gray?
Benjamin Moore Richmond Gray HC-96 is a light, muted gray-beige with a noticeable warm cast. Its soft yellow-tan undertone keeps it from reading as a cold concrete gray, giving walls a gently aged, parchment-like look. In bright daylight, Richmond Gray can appear lighter and more neutral, while evening or warm artificial light brings out its beige and khaki notes. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a quiet neutral is needed without turning stark. Pair it with creamy whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and deeper olive or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Richmond Gray
Richmond Gray has an LRV of 56.13% 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 56.13%, 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.
