What color is Benjamin Moore Exhale?
Benjamin Moore Exhale AF-515 is a light, muted blue-gray with a soft cool cast and a touch of watery blue-green beneath it. Its medium-light depth keeps it noticeable on walls without reading overly colorful or bright. In daylight, Exhale can look clean and airy, while warmer evening lighting may bring out its grayer side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and home offices where a gentle wash of color feels more interesting than plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Exhale
Exhale has an LRV of 46.3% 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 46.3%, 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.
