What color is Benjamin Moore Tranquility?
Benjamin Moore Tranquility AF-490 is a light, muted gray-green with a gently softened, low-saturation appearance. Its balanced mix of green and gray keeps it from reading overly cool or overly earthy, though the green undertone is more apparent in daylight. In dimmer rooms, this color can settle into a quiet pale gray with a subtle botanical cast. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a restrained wall color is wanted, and it also makes a calm choice for painted cabinetry. Pair Tranquility with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Tranquility
Tranquility has an LRV of 53.31% 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 53.31%, 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.
