What color is Benjamin Moore Slate?
Benjamin Moore Slate CW-700 is a softly muted, medium-light gray with a faint blue-green cast visible beneath its low-saturation surface. Its nearly even gray base keeps it understated, while the slight coolness gives white trim and pale marble a cleaner contrast. In north-facing rooms, Slate may read a touch cooler and more blue-gray; warmer bulbs and afternoon sun can make it appear more neutral. It suits living room walls, bedroom cabinetry, or a quiet exterior detail paired with soft white, charcoal, weathered wood, and brushed nickel.

LRV of Slate
Slate has an LRV of 39.07% 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 39.07%, 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.
