What color is Benjamin Moore Eternity?
Benjamin Moore Eternity AF-695 is a light, low-saturation gray with a gently cool cast and a faint blue-green lean visible in its balanced #BEC2C2 tone. It reads clean rather than icy, especially when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, or natural linen. In bright daylight, Eternity can appear airy and silvery; under warmer evening bulbs, it softens toward a quieter neutral gray. Use it on bedroom, bath, or living room walls when you want a subtle backdrop that still has more presence than plain white. Charcoal accents, brushed nickel, matte black hardware, and soft muted blues give this shade a cohesive finish.
LRV of Eternity
Eternity has an LRV of 52.22% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 52.22%, 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.
