What 49.7 tells you about Beach Glass
The published LRV of Benjamin Moore Beach Glass 1564 is 49.7. It describes light reflectance; it does not specify an undertone or predict the brightness of your room. Beach Glass is noticeably deeper than Quiet Moments, making it an option when a watery pale color lacks enough presence.
The choice beside weathered wood and creamy linen
Weathered wood and cream linen can keep the palette subdued without asking the wall to behave like a near-white.
Compare Beach Glass and Quiet Moments at equal size, first considering depth and then hue. A lighter blue, green or pink is still a colored surface. Use the LRV to organize the depth question without assuming that it measures saturation or predicts which hue the room will favor.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
Beach Glass has an LRV of 49.7; Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments 1563 is 60.73. The difference is 11.03 points, with Quiet Moments returning more light under the reference measurement. Beach Glass is a blue-gray with a substantial step down from the palest watery colors. The value measures reflectance, so it cannot by itself identify an undertone, a coating finish or the amount of illumination needed in the room. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice.
Decide whether the blue-gray depth gives the room enough structure before choosing white accessories. Do not read LRV 49.7 as a percentage improvement in perceived room brightness. Make the decision with the board upright at the actual wall or cabinet position, including the least illuminated portion. The north-facing room assessment covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
