What color is Benjamin Moore Eclipse?
Benjamin Moore Eclipse 2132-40 is a muted medium blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and low-key, smoky depth. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly blue, so it can feel like a soft charcoal gray in dim rooms while showing more blue in clear daylight. Eclipse is particularly effective on bedroom, office, or bathroom walls where a deeper neutral is wanted without the weight of near-black. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, brushed nickel, natural oak, or warm ivory textiles to give its cool tone contrast and definition.
LRV of Eclipse
Eclipse has an LRV of 20.01% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.01%, 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.
