What color is Benjamin Moore York Gray?
Benjamin Moore York Gray CW-45 is a light, muted gray-beige with a noticeable warm cast. Its #D2CBB9 value suggests soft beige and faint khaki undertones rather than a crisp, blue-based gray. In bright daylight, York Gray can read as a pale sandy neutral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its creamier side. It suits living room, bedroom, and hallway walls where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted without the starkness of off-white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or deeper charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of York Gray
York Gray has an LRV of 59.07% 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 59.07%, 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.
