What color is Benjamin Moore Shoreline?

Benjamin Moore Shoreline 1471 is a pale, softly muted gray with a slight warm cast that keeps it from reading icy or stark. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, chalky look, while the subtle beige-gray undertone is most noticeable beside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Shoreline can appear nearly off-white; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a gentle light gray. It suits bedrooms, hallways, and open living areas where a light neutral is wanted without the sharpness of a pure white. Pair it with warm white ceilings, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for definition.

What are Benjamin Moore Shoreline undertones?

Shoreline is a light, low-saturation near-neutral that reads as a soft gray with a slight off-white cast. In the supplied digital sample, the color direction leans faintly yellow, but it is too subtle to support a confident undertone label on its own. Benjamin Moore describes it as a soft hue grounded by “gentle winks of gray,” which matches its visibly gray-centered overall character. Warm artificial light may bring out its slight creamy or yellowish cast, while cool daylight can make the gray aspect look more noticeable.

LRV of Shoreline

Shoreline has an LRV of 67.66% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 67.66%, 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.
