What color is Benjamin Moore Bashful Blue?

Benjamin Moore Bashful Blue 2065-70 is a very light, clear blue with a cool cast and a clean, airy appearance. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy on full walls, while the noticeable blue presence gives it more definition than an off-white. In daylight, this shade can read fresh and lightly blue; under warmer evening bulbs, it may soften toward a gentler, slightly muted pastel. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, nurseries, and bedrooms where a crisp wash of color is wanted without darkening the space. Pair Bashful Blue with bright white trim, light oak, pale maple, brushed nickel, or soft gray textiles for a simple, clean-lined look.

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 74.02%, 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.
