Benjamin Moore

Refined

AF-75

Refined is a pale greenish-gray with an LRV of 71.69, placing it in the high-reflectance range suitable for walls in rooms that need consistent ambient light. The green undertone is subtle but distinguishable under natural daylight, shifting the read away from a straight cool gray. It holds up well against warm wood tones without appearing washed out.

For trim and ceiling work, pairing with White Dove or Chantilly Lace maintains tonal continuity. Deeper accents such as Chelsea Gray, Kendall Charcoal, or the muted green-gray of Gray Owl provide workable contrast without clashing.

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.
