What color is Benjamin Moore Sweet Bluette?
Benjamin Moore Sweet Bluette 813 is a pale blue with a soft gray cast and a clean, airy appearance. Its #D7E5EB color value gives it a cool lean, though the muted saturation keeps it from reading icy or overly bright. In daylight, Sweet Bluette can look fresh and lightly blue, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its gentle grayness. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a light-filled home office, especially on broad wall surfaces. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper slate-blue textiles for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Sweet Bluette undertones?
Sweet Bluette reads as a very light, muted blue with a soft, near-white depth and low saturation. In the supplied digital sample, the blue direction is subtle, with a slight cool blue-green lean rather than a strong or obvious undertone. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a faint yet crisp versatile blue,” which fits its visibly pale blue main family. Warm artificial light may soften and slightly gray the blue appearance, while cool daylight can make its blue cast look a bit clearer.

LRV of Sweet Bluette
Sweet Bluette has an LRV of 76.19% and refers to Off‑White 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 76.19%, 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.
