What color is Benjamin Moore Moonshine?
Benjamin Moore Moonshine OC-56 is a pale, muted gray with a soft green cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its light value gives walls an airy appearance, while the low saturation makes the color feel understated rather than noticeably green. In bright daylight, Moonshine can look like a clean, softly tinted off-white; under warmer artificial light, its gray-green character becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a light neutral is needed without the creaminess of beige. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or natural linen for a quiet, layered palette.

LRV of Moonshine
Moonshine has an LRV of 66.53% 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 66.53%, 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.
