What color is Benjamin Moore Wind Chime?

Benjamin Moore Wind Chime AF-465 is a light, muted gray-green with a noticeable softened olive cast. Its low-saturation character keeps the color quiet on large walls, while the warm yellowed undertone prevents it from reading like a cold gray. In bright daylight, Wind Chime can appear pale and airy; in lower or warmer light, its green-beige side becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a gentle alternative to beige or standard gray is wanted. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, woven textures, aged brass, and deep charcoal accents for definition.

What are Benjamin Moore Wind Chime undertones?

Wind Chime reads as a light, very muted green with a soft gray cast and low saturation. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle bias leans yellow-green, which keeps the gray-green appearance from looking blue or icy. Benjamin Moore describes it as a light shade of celadon with a touch of gray; that aligns with its visible green family and subdued, softened character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green side, while cool daylight can make the gray-green aspect appear a bit clearer.

LRV of Wind Chime

Wind Chime has an LRV of 56.68% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.68%, 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.
