What color is Benjamin Moore Shadow Gray?
Benjamin Moore Shadow Gray 2125-40 is a light-to-mid gray with a noticeable cool blue cast, giving it a clean, slightly steely appearance. It has enough depth to read clearly against white trim without making a room feel dark. In north-facing or low natural light, Shadow Gray can appear bluer and more muted, while warmer bulbs may soften it toward a gentler neutral gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where a crisp, understated wall color is wanted. Pair it with bright white woodwork, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or soft cream textiles to keep the cool undertone grounded.

LRV of Shadow Gray
Shadow Gray has an LRV of 39.53% and refers to Medium 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 39.53%, 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.
