What color is Benjamin Moore Street Chic?
Benjamin Moore Street Chic CSP-45 is a muted medium gray with a faint earthy cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low-saturation character gives walls a grounded, softened look, especially in rooms with natural wood, linen, or stone finishes. In bright daylight, Street Chic can appear like a straightforward weathered gray, while warmer evening light may bring out its subtle khaki-leaning undertone. It is well suited to living rooms, hallways, and home offices where a deeper neutral is wanted without the weight of charcoal. Pair it with off-white trim, black metal details, warm oak, or creamy upholstery for a composed, layered palette.

LRV of Street Chic
Street Chic has an LRV of 23.86% 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 23.86%, 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.
