What color is Benjamin Moore Iced Marble?

Benjamin Moore Iced Marble 1578 is a light, muted gray-green with a soft, low-saturation appearance. Its subtle green cast keeps it from reading like a plain gray, while the overall value remains pale enough for walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or quiet living areas. In bright daylight, Iced Marble can appear cleaner and slightly cooler; under warmer lamps, its gray base becomes more noticeable. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a restrained, layered look. It also suits cabinetry when a gentle alternative to standard light gray is wanted.

LRV of Iced Marble

Iced Marble has an LRV of 47.21% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 47.21%, 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.
