What color is Benjamin Moore Tundra?

Benjamin Moore Tundra 2133-70 is a very light, softly muted gray with the slightest green-blue cast visible beneath its near-neutral surface. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open and airy, while the low saturation prevents the color from reading stark white. In daylight, Tundra can appear like a clean pale gray; cooler artificial lighting may bring out its subtle icy undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal details. Use it across full walls or on cabinetry where a faintly cool, understated neutral is wanted.

LRV of Tundra

Tundra has an LRV of 77.07% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 77.07%, 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.
