What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Lace?

Benjamin Moore Blue Lace 1625 is a light blue-gray with a soft, cool cast and a subtle hint of green-blue in its pale finish. Its high lightness keeps walls airy without reading stark, while the restrained saturation gives it a gently muted, misty appearance. In bright daylight, Blue Lace can look cleaner and slightly bluer; under warmer artificial lighting, its gray side may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal accents. For cabinetry or an exterior detail, this shade is best used where a light, understated blue-gray is desired rather than a bold color statement.

What are Benjamin Moore Blue Lace undertones?

Blue Lace reads as a light, low-saturation blue-gray with a near-neutral overall character. In the supplied digital sample, the blue direction is very subtle, with a slight teal-leaning, greenish bias, though it is too faint to call a definite undertone. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “soft, subtle light blue,” which fits its visibly muted blue-gray family. Warm artificial light may make its grayness and slight green cast more noticeable, while cool daylight can make the light blue quality appear clearer.

LRV of Blue Lace

Blue Lace has an LRV of 66.11% 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 66.11%, 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.
