What color is Benjamin Moore Misty Blue?
Benjamin Moore Misty Blue 820 is a light, muted blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its pale value gives walls an open, airy look, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, and small sitting rooms. In cool daylight, Misty Blue can appear cleaner and more blue-forward, while warmer bulbs tend to bring out its gentle grayness. Pair it with clean white trim, light oak, soft charcoal accents, or brushed nickel for a restrained, cohesive palette. This shade is most effective across larger wall areas, where its low saturation can create color without making the room feel heavily painted.

LRV of Misty Blue
Misty Blue has an LRV of 65.83% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 65.83%, 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.
