What color is Benjamin Moore Alaskan Husky?

Benjamin Moore Alaskan Husky 1479 is a pale gray with a faint green cast, giving it a gently softened, mineral-like appearance. Its high lightness keeps walls looking open without reading as stark white. In daylight, the slight green-gray undertone may be more noticeable, while warmer evening lighting can make the color appear quieter and a touch softer. Alaskan Husky suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways where a restrained neutral is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, charcoal details, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded interior.

LRV of Alaskan Husky

Alaskan Husky has an LRV of 66.52% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 66.52%, 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.
