What color is Benjamin Moore Serenity?
Benjamin Moore Serenity 2055-60 is a light, clear blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it feeling fresh rather than powdery. Its high brightness makes it especially effective in smaller bathrooms, laundry rooms, or children’s spaces where a clean wash of color is wanted without darkening the room. In daylight, Serenity reads as a crisp pale blue; under warmer artificial lighting, its blue-green side may appear softer and slightly more muted. Pair it with bright white trim for a sharp, airy contrast, or use pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel to bring out its cool clarity. This shade is best suited to walls or a painted accent such as a vanity or built-in shelving.

LRV of Serenity
Serenity has an LRV of 68.3% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 68.3%, 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.
