What color is Benjamin Moore Emerald Vapor?
Benjamin Moore Emerald Vapor 845 is a very light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pastel. Its subtle coolness is most apparent in daylight, where the green undertone looks clean and lightly misted rather than vivid. In lower or warmer light, Emerald Vapor can appear closer to a pale gray-green, making it a gentle option for bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, or brushed nickel for a restrained, natural-looking palette. This shade is especially well suited to full walls and can also give painted cabinetry a faint wash of color without making the room feel dark.

LRV of Emerald Vapor
Emerald Vapor has an LRV of 82.13% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.13%, 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.
