What color is Benjamin Moore Nickel?
Benjamin Moore Nickel 2119-50 is a muted blue-gray with a soft, mid-light depth and a distinctly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly blue, so it can appear closer to a silvery gray in bright daylight while the blue tone becomes more noticeable in shaded rooms or evening light. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where a calm but clearly defined wall color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or black metal for a clean, grounded look. Nickel also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or an accent wall when paired with warmer natural textures such as linen, leather, or medium-toned wood.
LRV of Nickel
Nickel has an LRV of 39.23% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39.23%, 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.
