What color is Benjamin Moore Iceberg?
Benjamin Moore Iceberg 2122-50 is a pale, cool-toned blue-gray with a faint green cast visible in its soft, misty appearance. Its high lightness keeps walls looking open without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a quiet, powdery finish. In bright daylight, Iceberg can appear cleaner and slightly icier; under warm bulbs, its gray side becomes more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and light-filled living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, brushed nickel, pale oak, and charcoal accents. Use this shade on broad wall surfaces or cabinetry when you want subtle color that still feels distinctly cool.

LRV of Iceberg
Iceberg has an LRV of 71.1% 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 71.1%, 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.
