What color is Benjamin Moore Faded Denim?

Benjamin Moore Faded Denim 795 is a light, clear blue with a cool cast and a soft touch of gray that keeps it from feeling overly bright. Its mid-light value gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel closed in. In north-facing or shaded spaces, Faded Denim can read a little crisper and cooler, while warm daylight and incandescent lighting may bring out its gentler blue side. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a home office alongside warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with deep navy, charcoal, or black accents; for a lighter scheme, choose creamy whites and muted sandy neutrals.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 51.55%, 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.
