What color is Benjamin Moore Bayville Blue?
Benjamin Moore Bayville Blue 747 is a medium-light blue with a noticeable green cast, giving it the look of softened sea glass rather than a primary sky blue. Its muted saturation keeps the color from feeling overly bright, while the cool blue-green base still provides clear definition on a wall. In strong daylight, the green notes may read more clearly; under warmer indoor lighting, it can appear a little softer and more blue-gray. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, sunrooms, or on painted cabinetry where a clean but not stark color is wanted. Crisp white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen are especially compatible companions.

LRV of Bayville Blue
Bayville Blue has an LRV of 38.85% 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 38.85%, 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.
