What color is Benjamin Moore French Toile?
Benjamin Moore French Toile CSP-595 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, lightly weathered cast. Its soft gray base keeps the blue from reading too bright, while a subtle blue-green lean can appear in clear daylight. In north-facing rooms, French Toile may look more distinctly slate-blue; warmer evening lighting tends to bring forward its quiet grayness. It is well suited to bedroom or bathroom walls, where its medium-light depth gives definition without making the room feel dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale natural oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a restrained, layered finish.

LRV of French Toile
French Toile has an LRV of 42.8% 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 42.8%, 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.
