What color is Benjamin Moore Forget Me Not?
Benjamin Moore Forget Me Not 2049-60 is a pale, airy blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and a softly muted finish. Its #C0E3E3 value gives it a light reflective quality, so it can read closer to icy aqua in bright daylight and slightly grayer or more blue in lower, indirect light. It is especially well suited to bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, or a ceiling where a gentle wash of color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair Forget Me Not with clean white trim, pale oak, light maple, brushed nickel, or soft gray textiles to keep the palette crisp. For more definition, add deeper blue-green accents or charcoal hardware rather than warm, heavily yellowed woods.

LRV of Forget Me Not
Forget Me Not has an LRV of 70.39% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 70.39%, 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.
