What color is Benjamin Moore Mineral Ice?

Benjamin Moore Mineral Ice 2132-70 is a very light gray with a cool, nearly neutral cast and a faint blue-green edge. Its low saturation keeps it close to an off-white, so it can brighten a room without reading as stark white. In daylight, this color is likely to show its coolness more clearly, while warmer artificial light can soften it toward a gentle pale gray. Mineral Ice suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces, particularly on full walls or ceilings. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted blue-gray textiles for a clean, restrained palette.

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 73.25%, 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.
