What color is Benjamin Moore Evening Sky?
Benjamin Moore Evening Sky 833 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and low-saturation, charcoal-like depth. Its subtle blue presence keeps it from reading as flat gray, especially in daylight or alongside crisp white trim. In dimmer rooms, Evening Sky can appear nearly charcoal, making it well suited to a study, dining room, bedroom accent wall, or painted built-ins. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale stone grays, weathered oak, black metal, and brushed nickel for a restrained, architectural look. On cabinetry or exterior details, this shade has enough darkness to create definition without the starkness of pure black.

LRV of Evening Sky
Evening Sky has an LRV of 7.35% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.35%, 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.
