What color is Benjamin Moore Serenata?
Benjamin Moore Serenata AF-535 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its soft, low-saturation character gives walls a washed, airy look, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet sitting rooms. In cooler daylight, the blue aspect can appear clearer, while warmer bulbs may bring out more of its silvery gray side. Pair Serenata with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, layered palette. It is especially well suited to broad wall areas, where its subtle color shift has room to show.
LRV of Serenata
Serenata has an LRV of 51.5% 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 51.5%, 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.
