What color is Benjamin Moore Winter Gray?
Benjamin Moore Winter Gray 2117-60 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable lavender cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the soft purple-gray undertone becomes more apparent in cool daylight and under bluish LED lighting. In warmer afternoon light, Winter Gray can appear gentler and closer to a pale dove gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and low-contrast living spaces where a quiet wash of color is preferable to a stark white. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or dusty mauve textiles to echo its subtle violet-gray character.

LRV of Winter Gray
Winter Gray has an LRV of 61.69% 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 61.69%, 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.
