What color is Benjamin Moore Smoke?
Benjamin Moore Smoke 2122-40 is a light, muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a soft wash of gray that keeps it from reading overly pastel. Its low-saturation color feels airy on broad walls, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet workspaces. In brighter daylight, Smoke can show more of its pale blue character, while lower or warmer light brings forward its gray side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, layered look. It also makes a gentle cabinet color in rooms that need more color than white without a strong contrast.

LRV of Smoke
Smoke has an LRV of 55.74% 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 55.74%, 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.
