What color is Benjamin Moore Evening Skyline?
Benjamin Moore Evening Skyline CSP-505 is a muted mid-tone gray with a faint rosy-mauve cast that keeps it from reading flat or overly cool. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, weathered look, while the moderate depth provides more presence than a pale neutral. In bright daylight, this shade can appear like a gentle warm gray; under lower or warmer artificial light, its pinked undertone may become more noticeable. Evening Skyline suits bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas where a subdued neutral is wanted without the starkness of charcoal or pure gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty blush accents, dark walnut, aged brass, or charcoal textiles for contrast.
LRV of Evening Skyline
Evening Skyline has an LRV of 26.64% 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 26.64%, 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.
