What color is Benjamin Moore Morning Glory?

Benjamin Moore Morning Glory 785 is a light, clear blue with a noticeable aqua cast and a softly muted finish. Its high brightness keeps it feeling open on walls, while the blue-green undertone gives it more character than a standard pale blue. In daylight, Morning Glory reads crisp and breezy; under warm evening bulbs, it can appear gentler and slightly more subdued. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and bedrooms, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm ivory textiles. For contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents or charcoal details rather than overly bright colors.

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 68.06%, 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.
