What color is Benjamin Moore Bonne Nuit?
Benjamin Moore Bonne Nuit AF-635 is a muted, mid-depth mauve-gray with a noticeable violet cast and softened rosy undertones. It reads as a dusky purple in daylight, while warmer evening light can draw out its subtle plum and brown notes. The low-saturation finish keeps it grounded rather than overly sweet, making it well suited to bedroom walls, a dining room, or a powder room with limited natural light. Pair Bonne Nuit with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, weathered oak, and brushed brass for contrast that feels considered. On cabinetry or a single accent wall, this shade brings more color than a standard gray without dominating the room.

What are Benjamin Moore Bonne Nuit undertones?
Bonne Nuit is a midtone, very muted brownish taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Bonne Nuit
Bonne Nuit has an LRV of 17.35% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
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 17.35%, 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.
