What color is Benjamin Moore Silvery Blue?

Benjamin Moore Silvery Blue 1647 is a light blue-gray with a soft, muted presence rather than a bright or sharply saturated look. Its #BFD0D4 color value shows a cool blue cast tempered by enough gray to keep it quiet on broad walls. In daylight, Silvery Blue can read airy and pale, while lower or warmer light may bring out more of its gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and ceilings where a gentle wash of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 61.28%, 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.
