What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Echo?
Benjamin Moore Blue Echo AF-505 is a muted blue-gray with a noticeable green cast, giving it a weathered, mineral-like character. Its medium depth keeps it present on a wall without reading overly dark, especially in rooms with ample natural light. Daylight brings out its cooler blue-green side, while warmer lamps can make the gray base feel more apparent. Blue Echo suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and studies, and it can also make a grounded choice for cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, charcoal accents, and brushed brass or aged nickel for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Blue Echo
Blue Echo has an LRV of 24.36% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.36%, 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.
