What color is Behr Compass Blue?
Behr Compass Blue MQ5-54 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or nautical. Its cool, shadowy character can look nearly charcoal-blue in dim rooms, while daylight brings out more of its blue presence. This shade gives built-in cabinetry, office walls, and bedroom accents a grounded, substantial look without the sharpness of a true black. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or soft taupe textiles to add contrast and warmth. On an exterior, Compass Blue is especially effective for a front door or shutters against light siding or stone.

LRV of Compass Blue
Compass Blue has an LRV of 6.26% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.26%, 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.
