What color is Benjamin Moore Palace Pearl?

Benjamin Moore Palace Pearl CW-650 is a light blue-gray with a soft, muted cast that keeps it from reading overly icy. Its cool character is most noticeable in daylight, where the pale blue influence comes forward, while warmer evening lighting can make it appear gentler and slightly grayer. Palace Pearl is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas where a low-contrast wall color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for definition. On cabinetry, this shade can create a subtle painted finish without making the room feel dark.

LRV of Palace Pearl

Palace Pearl has an LRV of 61.73% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 61.73%, 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.
