What color is Benjamin Moore Soft Chinchilla?
Benjamin Moore Soft Chinchilla 2135-50 is a light, muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pastel. Its soft coolness is especially suited to bathrooms, bedrooms, or a quiet home office, where it can give walls a clean, gently washed appearance. In bright daylight, the blue-green character becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light may bring forward its silvery gray side. Pair this shade with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details for a composed, contemporary palette. It also has enough color presence for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall without making the room feel heavy.

LRV of Soft Chinchilla
Soft Chinchilla has an LRV of 52.73% 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 52.73%, 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.
