What color is Benjamin Moore Shaker Gray?
Benjamin Moore Shaker Gray 1594 is a medium gray with a muted, lightly cool cast that keeps it from reading flat or overly blue. Its restrained blue-green undertone is subtle, showing more clearly in bright daylight while softer indoor lighting can make it appear closer to a balanced charcoal-gray. This shade has enough depth for a living room, home office, or bedroom wall without making the room feel closed in. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft off-white textiles for a crisp, grounded look. It also suits cabinetry or an exterior accent when a quieter alternative to deep charcoal is needed.

LRV of Shaker Gray
Shaker Gray has an LRV of 25.92% 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 25.92%, 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.
