What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Diamond?
Benjamin Moore Blue Diamond 736 is a light blue-green with a distinctly cool, watery cast. Its high value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft green undertone prevents it from reading like a straightforward baby blue. In daylight, Blue Diamond can look crisp and lightly aqua; under warmer bulbs, it may shift toward a gentler, muted sea-glass tone. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a bedroom ceiling, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and sandy beige textiles. For more contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents or charcoal-gray fixtures.

LRV of Blue Diamond
Blue Diamond has an LRV of 68.93% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 68.93%, 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.
