What color is Benjamin Moore Sheer Romance?
Benjamin Moore Sheer Romance 837 is a muted blue with a soft gray cast, giving it a calm, lightly weathered appearance rather than a bright or icy one. Its medium-light depth provides enough color for walls while keeping a room open and airy. In daylight, the blue reads clearer and cooler; warmer evening lighting can bring out its subdued gray side. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a quiet home office with crisp white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel. Sheer Romance also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry or an exterior accent where a low-saturation blue feels more grounded than a bold coastal shade.
LRV of Sheer Romance
Sheer Romance has an LRV of 44.6% 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 44.6%, 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.
