What color is Benjamin Moore Nelson Blue?
Benjamin Moore Nelson Blue CW-635 is a light, muted blue-gray with a gentle green cast visible in its #CED6D0 color value. Its high lightness keeps it airy rather than icy, while the low saturation gives it a soft, weathered appearance. In north-facing rooms, Nelson Blue may read cooler and more gray, while warmer daylight can bring out its subtle green undertone. It suits bedroom, bath, and hallway walls where a quiet pale color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal or deep navy accents for grounded contrast.

LRV of Nelson Blue
Nelson Blue has an LRV of 65.4% 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 65.4%, 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.
