What color is Benjamin Moore Vintage Pewter?

Benjamin Moore Vintage Pewter CSP-110 is a muted mid-tone gray with a gentle warm cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its softened beige-taupe undertone gives the color a weathered, mineral-like look, especially in natural daylight. In brighter rooms, Vintage Pewter can appear like a light warm gray, while lower light brings out its deeper, slightly earthy character. It makes a grounded wall color for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways, and can also suit cabinetry when paired with creamy whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, or natural oak. Use it alongside linen, stone, leather, and matte black details for an interior that feels layered rather than overly polished.

LRV of Vintage Pewter

Vintage Pewter has an LRV of 33.78% and refers to Medium 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 33.78%, 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.
