What color is Benjamin Moore Atlantis Blue?
Benjamin Moore Atlantis Blue 768 is a clear, medium-light blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it bright without reading pastel. Its cool blue-green undertone is especially apparent in daylight, while warmer evening lamps can make the color look a little softer and less crisp. It has enough saturation to hold its own on a full wall in a bathroom, laundry room, or sunlit bedroom, yet it can also bring definition to a front door or painted built-ins. Pair Atlantis Blue with clean white trim, pale gray tile, light oak, woven natural fibers, or matte black hardware for contrast.

LRV of Atlantis Blue
Atlantis Blue has an LRV of 39.84% 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 39.84%, 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.
