What color is Benjamin Moore Sapphire Ice?
Benjamin Moore Sapphire Ice 808 is a light, cool blue with a softened, slightly muted cast rather than a bright primary-blue look. Its pale blue-gray character gives walls clear color while keeping the overall effect open and light. In daylight, Sapphire Ice reads clean and airy; in lower or cooler artificial light, its gray-blue side may become more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and coastal-inspired living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim. Pair it with pale oak, brushed nickel, soft gray textiles, or deeper navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Sapphire Ice
Sapphire Ice has an LRV of 50.43% 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 50.43%, 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.
