What color is Benjamin Moore Lookout Point?

Benjamin Moore Lookout Point 1646 is a pale, misty blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or icy. Its high lightness makes it especially useful for walls in bathrooms, bedrooms, and airy living spaces where a quiet wash of color is wanted. In daylight, the blue-green character is likely to appear clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring its subtle grayness forward. Pair Lookout Point with clean white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a crisp, grounded contrast. It also makes a gentle choice for cabinetry when balanced with warmer flooring or natural stone.

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 74.07%, 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.
