What color is Benjamin Moore Heavenly Blue?

Benjamin Moore Heavenly Blue 709 is a pale, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool undertone is most noticeable in clear daylight, where the blue and green notes appear lightly washed and airy. Under warm artificial lighting, this shade can look quieter and more silvery, with the gray influence coming forward. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and light-filled sitting rooms where a low-contrast wall color is wanted. Pair Heavenly Blue with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Heavenly Blue

Heavenly Blue has an LRV of 56.47% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 56.47%, 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.
