What color is Benjamin Moore Heaven?
Benjamin Moore Heaven 2118-70 is a very light, cool-leaning gray with a faint blue cast visible beneath its soft, near-white surface. Its low saturation keeps it clean and airy rather than overtly colorful, making it a useful alternative to stark white on walls or ceilings. In bright daylight, Heaven can read as a pale silvery gray, while lower or warmer artificial light may soften its blue-gray character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, charcoal accents, brushed nickel, pale oak, or cool marble. Use this shade across broad walls when you want a subtle backdrop that still provides a little definition against white cabinetry or millwork.

What are Benjamin Moore Heaven undertones?
Heaven 2118-70 reads as a very light, low-saturation gray that is close to neutral overall. In the supplied digital sample, any color bias is extremely subtle, with a slight blue direction that is too weak to support a confident undertone call. Benjamin Moore describes it as an airy gray with a soothing touch of lavender, which fits its primarily pale gray appearance as a gentle violet-leaning impression rather than a strong purple color. Warm artificial light may make its cool gray character look softer, while cool daylight can make the faint blue-gray quality more noticeable.

LRV of Heaven
Heaven has an LRV of 75.26% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 75.26%, 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.
