What color is Benjamin Moore Bainbridge Blue?
Benjamin Moore Bainbridge Blue 749 is a medium-deep blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, sitting closer to weathered teal than to a pure navy. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded, so it can give a room definition without reading overly bright. In daylight, Bainbridge Blue may show its cooler, slightly greened blue side, while lower or warmer light can make it appear darker and more subdued. It has enough depth for cabinetry, a front door, or a dining room accent wall, and can also suit a smaller powder room where a richer wall color feels intentional. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray stone, natural oak, aged brass, or warm tan textiles to bring out its balanced mix of blue and green.

LRV of Bainbridge Blue
Bainbridge Blue has an LRV of 13.92% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.92%, 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.
