What color is Benjamin Moore Glacier Blue?
Benjamin Moore Glacier Blue 1653 is a light, airy blue with a noticeable soft gray cast that keeps it from reading too sweet or bright. Its #C8DEE2 color value gives it a cool, lightly muted appearance, with a hint of blue-green visible in clearer daylight. On walls, Glacier Blue can make bathrooms, bedrooms, and sunlit hallways feel open without becoming stark. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a clean, grounded contrast. In lower light, this shade is likely to look quieter and grayer, making it especially suitable for larger wall areas rather than a high-impact focal accent.

LRV of Glacier Blue
Glacier Blue has an LRV of 69.56% 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 69.56%, 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.
