What color is Benjamin Moore Soft Jazz?
Benjamin Moore Soft Jazz 809 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or sugary. Its cool blue character is clear in daylight, while lower or warmer light can bring out its softened, slightly smoky side. This shade suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where a calm wall color is wanted without turning the room pale. Pair Soft Jazz with crisp white trim for contrast, or use it alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal textiles, and warm ivory accents to keep the palette grounded. It can also make a composed choice for cabinetry or a painted exterior door.

LRV of Soft Jazz
Soft Jazz has an LRV of 37.08% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.08%, 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.
