What color is Benjamin Moore Mediterranean Sky?
Benjamin Moore Mediterranean Sky 1662 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool blue-green lean is most apparent in clear daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its soft, silvery quality. Mediterranean Sky suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces where a pale blue wall color can add definition without making the room feel dark. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale stone, or charcoal details for a grounded contrast. It also makes a good choice for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall when the rest of the palette is warm white and natural wood.

LRV of Mediterranean Sky
Mediterranean Sky has an LRV of 50.81% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 50.81%, 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.
