What color is Benjamin Moore Azores?

Benjamin Moore Azores AF-495 is a muted green-gray with a soft, weathered cast and moderate depth. Its blue-green undertone keeps it from reading as a standard sage, while the gray content gives the color a settled, low-saturation appearance. In bright natural light, Azores can look lighter and slightly cooler; under warmer lamps, its green side becomes more apparent. It is well suited to bedroom, bathroom, or study walls where a calm mid-tone is wanted without a stark contrast. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or creamy stone for a grounded palette.

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 33.61%, 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.
