What color is Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Gray?
Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Gray HC-146 is a muted blue-green gray with a soft, weathered cast rather than a crisp or brightly colored look. Its gray base keeps the color restrained, while the green-blue undertone becomes more noticeable in clear daylight. In lower or warmer light, Wedgewood Gray can read as a quieter, more neutral gray with a subtle cool tint. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, inky blue, or a warm terracotta accent.
LRV of Wedgewood Gray
Wedgewood Gray has an LRV of 49.59% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 49.59%, 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.
