What color is Benjamin Moore Reflection?
Benjamin Moore Reflection 850 is a pale, lightly muted green with a soft cool cast and a clean, airy appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color gentle on large walls, where it reads more like a tinted neutral than a pronounced pastel. In bright daylight, Reflection can look fresh and lightly green, while lower or warmer lighting may soften it toward a subdued, powdery wash. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, sunrooms, and quiet kitchen walls, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper forest greens, charcoal, or dark navy accents.

LRV of Reflection
Reflection has an LRV of 76.35% and refers to Off‑White 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 76.35%, 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.
