Benjamin Moore

April Showers

1507

April Showers is a muted green-gray with a subtle warm undertone that prevents it from reading cold in north-facing rooms. At an LRV of 66.84 it reflects a moderate amount of light and holds steady under both daylight and incandescent sources. The green content is restrained enough that the color functions as a neutral on full-room walls.

It coordinates with Gray Owl for a lighter trim, Stonington Gray as a cooler adjacent tone, and Balboa Mist where a warmer neutral is needed on ceilings or wainscoting. Darker accents such as Kendall Charcoal or Onyx provide definition on millwork and doors.

April Showers in Different Light

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
