What color is Benjamin Moore Smoke Gray?
Benjamin Moore Smoke Gray 2120-40 is a medium-depth gray with a noticeably cool, blue-leaning cast. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded rather than icy, giving walls clear definition without making a room feel overly dark. In daylight, Smoke Gray can read as a softened blue-gray, while warmer artificial lighting may draw out its more neutral charcoal side. It suits bedrooms, offices, and bathrooms where a cooler wall color can create contrast with white trim, pale oak, or brushed nickel. Pair it with clean whites, deep navy accents, black metal, and natural wood for a crisp, layered interior.

LRV of Smoke Gray
Smoke Gray has an LRV of 21.08% 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 21.08%, 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.
