What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Danube?
Benjamin Moore Blue Danube 2062-30 is a medium-dark blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps its color grounded rather than overly bright. Its cool blue character reads cleanly on walls, while the depth of #2D5970 gives it enough presence for a dining room, study, or built-in cabinetry. In strong daylight, the blue appears clearer and a little more open; under lower or warmer lighting, it settles into a deeper blue-gray. Pair it with crisp white trim, soft greige, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a restrained contrast. Blue Danube is especially effective on a single focal wall or painted cabinets where its saturated tone can stand out without covering an entire room.

LRV of Blue Danube
Blue Danube has an LRV of 11.18% 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 11.18%, 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.
