What color is Benjamin Moore Mystic Lake?

Benjamin Moore Mystic Lake CSP-745 is a muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color while maintaining a low-key, weathered appearance. In daylight, Mystic Lake can read as a gentle mineral green with a cool blue lean; under warmer lamps, its gray undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry where a subdued coastal or botanical note is wanted without a vivid splash of color. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm natural linen for contrast that does not overpower the shade.

LRV of Mystic Lake

Mystic Lake has an LRV of 33.24% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 33.24%, 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.
