What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Allure?

Benjamin Moore Blue Allure 771 is a light, cool blue with a soft aqua cast, drawn from its pale blue-green appearance. Its low saturation keeps it gentle on broad walls, where it can make a bathroom, bedroom, or sunlit hallway feel open rather than heavily colored. In cooler daylight, Blue Allure reads crisper and more blue-forward; warm bulbs bring out a slightly softer, greener note. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or light gray textiles for a fresh, understated palette. It is especially well suited to walls and ceilings, though it can also add a quiet wash of color to built-in cabinetry.

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 69.32%, 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.
