What color is Benjamin Moore Morning Sky Blue?

Benjamin Moore Morning Sky Blue 2053-70 is a very light, clean blue with a subtle aqua cast that keeps it from reading icy. Its high value and soft saturation make it especially effective on broad walls, where it brings gentle color without overpowering a room. In daylight, Morning Sky Blue can look airy and nearly pastel; under warmer bulbs, its blue-green edge may soften further. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light maple, or brushed nickel for a fresh bathroom, laundry room, or bedroom. For a little contrast, use charcoal accents or deep navy textiles rather than another mid-tone blue.

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 78.01%, 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.
