What color is Benjamin Moore Touch of Gray?
Benjamin Moore Touch of Gray 2116-60 is a pale gray with a noticeable whisper of lavender in its cool, muted cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on walls, while the slight violet influence prevents it from reading like a flat neutral. In north-facing rooms or lower light, Touch of Gray may show more of its soft purple-gray character; brighter daylight tends to make it appear cleaner and lighter. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas where a gentle cool neutral is wanted without stark white walls. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or soft blue-gray textiles for a coordinated look.

LRV of Touch of Gray
Touch of Gray has an LRV of 68.78% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 68.78%, 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.
