What color is Benjamin Moore Skyscraper?
Benjamin Moore Skyscraper 765 is a light, airy blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it from reading overly icy. Its pale value gives walls a clean, open look, while the soft saturation prevents the color from feeling stark. In daylight, Skyscraper can show its fresh blue-green side; under warmer lamps, it may appear gentler and slightly grayer. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit kitchens, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or matte black details. Pair this shade with warm off-whites and sandy neutrals to add contrast without losing its cool, breezy character.

LRV of Skyscraper
Skyscraper has an LRV of 68.77% 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 68.77%, 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.
