What color is Benjamin Moore Porcelain Glaze?
Benjamin Moore Porcelain Glaze CSP-550 is a muted blue with a soft gray cast, sitting at a comfortable mid-light depth. Its cool, lightly weathered character keeps it from reading overly bright or sugary, making it well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas. In north-facing light, Porcelain Glaze may appear a little grayer and more subdued, while warmer daylight can bring out its gentle blue tone. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, or use it alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, grounded look. It also has enough presence for painted cabinetry or an accent wall when a room needs color without a sharp visual jolt.

LRV of Porcelain Glaze
Porcelain Glaze has an LRV of 43.42% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 43.42%, 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.
