What color is Benjamin Moore Seattle Gray?
Benjamin Moore Seattle Gray 2130-70 is a very light gray with a noticeable cool blue cast, reflected in its pale blue-gray appearance. It reads clean and airy on walls, especially in rooms with ample daylight, where its soft icy quality becomes more apparent. In lower or warmer artificial light, Seattle Gray can look quieter and more neutral while still retaining a gentle coolness. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled kitchens with crisp white trim, pale wood, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Its low saturation also makes it a calm backdrop for navy textiles, black-framed artwork, or natural linen upholstery.

LRV of Seattle Gray
Seattle Gray has an LRV of 72.9% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 72.9%, 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.
