What color is Benjamin Moore Amsterdam?
Benjamin Moore Amsterdam AF-550 is a muted blue-gray with a softly weathered cast and moderate depth. Its cool blue character is tempered by gray, keeping it from reading overly bright or crisp on large walls. In daylight, Amsterdam can show a clearer blue presence, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring forward its quieter gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted without the weight of a deep navy. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm linen textiles for contrast.

LRV of Amsterdam
Amsterdam has an LRV of 29.21% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.21%, 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.
