What color is Benjamin Moore Wall Street?

Benjamin Moore Wall Street CSP-20 is a medium gray with a notably neutral cast, sitting close to the center between light and dark. Its low saturation keeps it clean and steady rather than noticeably blue, beige, or green. In bright daylight, Wall Street can read as a soft, even gray, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out a slightly deeper, muted appearance. It is a practical wall color for living rooms, offices, hallways, or bedrooms where stronger accent colors and artwork need room to stand out. Pair it with crisp white trim for definition, pale oak for warmth, or black metal and charcoal textiles for a more graphic look.

LRV of Wall Street

Wall Street has an LRV of 29.75% 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 29.75%, 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.
