What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Dusk?

Benjamin Moore Blue Dusk 1644 is a muted blue-gray with a soft, weathered cast that keeps it from reading overly icy. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color while the low saturation makes it easy to live with in larger rooms. In bright daylight, Blue Dusk can appear a little cleaner and bluer; under warmer lamps, its gray notes become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and studies, and also makes a grounded choice for painted cabinetry. Pair it with crisp off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a composed, textural look.

What are Benjamin Moore Blue Dusk undertones?

Blue Dusk reads as a midtone, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast and a slight green-leaning bias in the supplied digital sample. Benjamin Moore describes it as a muted ocean blue with a gray undertone, which aligns with the color’s visibly softened, less vivid blue character. In warm artificial light, the grayness may make it appear a bit more subdued, while cool daylight can bring out its blue and faint blue-green direction more clearly.

LRV of Blue Dusk

Blue Dusk has an LRV of 24.03% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 24.03%, 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.
