What color is Benjamin Moore Spirit in the Sky?

Benjamin Moore Spirit in the Sky 676 is a softened blue-green with a light, airy value and a noticeable teal cast. Its cool blue base is tempered by enough green to keep it from reading icy, especially in daylight. In bright south-facing rooms, Spirit in the Sky can appear cleaner and more aqua, while lower or cooler light brings out its quieter blue-gray side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or a painted ceiling, and it can also make a fresh choice for cabinetry paired with warm white walls. Try it alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, white tile, or muted sandy neutrals for contrast without making the palette feel overly sharp.

LRV of Spirit in the Sky

Spirit in the Sky has an LRV of 46.04% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 46.04%, 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.
