What color is Benjamin Moore Wickham Gray?
Benjamin Moore Wickham Gray HC-171 is a light, muted gray with a subtle green cast visible in its soft, low-saturation finish. Its pale value keeps walls looking open without reading as stark white. In daylight, the gentle green-gray undertone is likely to be more noticeable, while warmer artificial lighting can make the color appear quieter and slightly softer. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways where a restrained neutral is wanted. Pair Wickham Gray with crisp white trim, pale wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a clean, grounded contrast.

LRV of Wickham Gray
Wickham Gray has an LRV of 67.87% 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 67.87%, 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.
