What color is Benjamin Moore Aqua Marina?
Benjamin Moore Aqua Marina 816 is a light, clean blue with a gentle cool cast and enough softness to keep it from feeling overly bright. Its #8DADD9 color value gives it a mid-light depth that reads clearly on walls while still leaving a room open and airy. In daylight, Aqua Marina shows as a fresh blue, while warmer evening lighting can bring out its slightly muted, grayed quality. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and coastal-inspired living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents, charcoal details, or warm terracotta accessories.
LRV of Aqua Marina
Aqua Marina has an LRV of 42.72% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 42.72%, 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.
