What color is Benjamin Moore Mermaid's Tale?

Benjamin Moore Mermaid's Tale 577 is a light, fresh aqua-green with a noticeable mint cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the blue-green direction gives it a clean, cool-leaning appearance rather than a yellowed pastel look. In daylight, this color can read crisp and watery; under warmer bulbs, its green side may become more apparent. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a child’s bedroom where a pale color with more character than white is wanted. Pair Mermaid's Tale with soft white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and muted coral or peach accents for contrast.

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).

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.
