What color is Behr Mondrian Blue?
Behr Mondrian Blue MQ4-58 is a clear, medium-deep blue with a noticeable cyan cast that keeps it from reading like a traditional navy. Its cool, saturated character can look brighter and cleaner in daylight, while lower evening light brings out a deeper blue presence. Use Mondrian Blue on a study wall, powder room, or built-in cabinetry when a strong color statement is wanted without making the surface appear nearly black. Crisp white trim sharpens its blue tone, while pale gray, light oak, brushed nickel, and warm natural leather give it useful contrast. On an exterior door or shutters, this shade pairs especially well with off-white siding and charcoal accents.

LRV of Mondrian Blue
Mondrian Blue has an LRV of 8.64% 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 8.64%, 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.
