Benjamin Moore

Meditation

AF-395

Meditation is a complex neutral that blends gray, brown, and green undertones into a single grounded hue. With an LRV of 36.48, it reflects enough light to function as a mid-tone without reading as dark in most conditions. The green undertone is subtle but present, preventing the color from skewing purely warm or cool.

This three-way undertone mix gives it a shifting quality depending on adjacent colors and light source. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Paper Mache (AF-25), Tranquility (AF-490), Powder Sand (OC-113), and Man on the Moon (OC-106).

Meditation in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
