What color is Benjamin Moore Bellbottom Blues?

Benjamin Moore Bellbottom Blues CSP-655 is a medium-deep blue with a muted, slightly weathered cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue base carries a subtle gray influence, giving the color a grounded, softened appearance on walls. In north-facing rooms, Bellbottom Blues can appear deeper and more slate-like, while warmer daylight may bring out its clearer blue character. It suits a study, dining room, or bedroom where a stronger wall color is wanted without a high-gloss, nautical look. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or sandy beige textiles to add contrast and warmth. This shade also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or an exterior door.

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 15.48%, 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.
