What color is Benjamin Moore Sweatshirt Gray?
Benjamin Moore Sweatshirt Gray 2126-40 is a medium-depth gray with a clear cool, blue-leaning cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly colorful, so it can give walls a calm, lightly weathered look rather than a strong blue statement. In bright daylight, the blue-gray quality is more apparent, while lower or warmer artificial light can make the shade appear softer and more neutral. Sweatshirt Gray suits bedrooms, home offices, and bathrooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent when paired with clean whites and dark slate materials.

LRV of Sweatshirt Gray
Sweatshirt Gray has an LRV of 31.79% 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 31.79%, 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.
