What color is Benjamin Moore Windy Sky?

Benjamin Moore Windy Sky 1639 is a pale blue-gray with a soft green cast that keeps it from reading overly icy. Its light value gives walls an airy, lightly washed appearance, while the muted saturation makes it feel quieter than a clear pastel blue. In north-facing or shaded rooms, Windy Sky can lean cooler and grayer; warmer daylight and incandescent lighting tend to bring out its subtle blue-green side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and airy kitchens, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and honed marble. For contrast, pair it with charcoal accents or deep navy details rather than bright primary colors.

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 65.66%, 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.
