What color is Benjamin Moore Andes Summit?

Benjamin Moore Andes Summit CSP-600 is a muted, medium-dark blue-gray with a cool, slate-like cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective in studies, bedrooms, and entryways where a deeper wall color is wanted. In clear daylight, Andes Summit reads more distinctly blue, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its gray depth. Pair it with soft warm whites, pale oak, charcoal accents, and brushed nickel for a clean contrast. This shade also has enough presence for built-in shelving or cabinetry when paired with lighter surrounding walls.

What are Benjamin Moore Andes Summit undertones?

Andes Summit is a dark, muted blue-gray with low saturation, so it reads more like a softened neutral than a clear blue. The supplied digital color leans subtly blue with a slight green cast, though that bias is faint and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore lists it as a neutral and does not state a specific undertone on the provided official page. Warm artificial light may make its gray component feel a little softer or warmer, while cool daylight can make the blue-gray character more noticeable.

LRV of Andes Summit

Andes Summit has an LRV of 14.13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 14.13%, 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.
