What color is Benjamin Moore Stormy Monday?
Benjamin Moore Stormy Monday 2112-50 is a light, muted gray with a faint warm cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its low-saturation appearance gives walls a soft, settled look, especially in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is wanted. In bright daylight, this shade can appear closer to a pale concrete gray, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its subtle beige influence. Pair it with clean white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or black accents for contrast. Stormy Monday also suits cabinetry or an exterior accent when a restrained gray is preferred over a sharper cool neutral.

LRV of Stormy Monday
Stormy Monday has an LRV of 40.54% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 40.54%, 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.
