What color is Benjamin Moore Templeton Gray?
Benjamin Moore Templeton Gray HC-161 is a muted mid-tone gray with a clear blue-green cast. Its balanced, low-saturation character keeps it from reading icy, though it will appear cooler in north-facing rooms or under crisp daylight. In warmer evening light, the gray base becomes more noticeable and the blue-green undertone softens. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry where a quiet but discernible color is wanted. Pair Templeton Gray with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm stone for contrast that keeps the room grounded.

LRV of Templeton Gray
Templeton Gray has an LRV of 23.9% 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 23.9%, 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.
