Benjamin Moore

Barnboard

CC-572 / 1545

Barnboard is a grounded gray with a slight brown undertone that keeps it earthy. Its LRV of 23.1 places it in the darker mid-range, so it reads strong on walls. Warm light pushes the brown note forward.

It is suitable for living rooms, offices, or built-ins where a deeper gray is needed, and it also works on cabinetry. Pair it with Gray Owl and Simply White for balance, and add Hale Navy for contrast.

Barnboard in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
