What color is Benjamin Moore Wool Peacoat?

Benjamin Moore Wool Peacoat CSP-25 is a mid-depth gray with a subtle warm cast that keeps it from looking stark or blue. Its low saturation gives the color a softly weathered appearance, with a faint rosy-beige influence visible beside cleaner, cooler grays. In bright daylight, Wool Peacoat can read as an even, grounded neutral, while lower or warmer light may bring out its muted warmth. It is well suited to living room walls, bedrooms, or painted cabinetry where a medium neutral is needed without the heaviness of charcoal. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, black metal details, or clay-toned accents for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Wool Peacoat

Wool Peacoat has an LRV of 23.17% 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 23.17%, 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.
