What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Heron?
Benjamin Moore Blue Heron 832 is a muted medium-depth blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool blue character can read slightly slate-like in daylight, while lower or warmer light may bring out its softened, smoky quality. Blue Heron is well suited to bedrooms, home offices, and living rooms where a darker wall color is wanted without the heaviness of navy. Use it on cabinetry or a single accent wall alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. For contrast, pair this shade with creamy off-whites or light sand tones; for a quieter scheme, layer it with soft grays and deeper blue-grays.
LRV of Blue Heron
Blue Heron has an LRV of 15.77% 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 15.77%, 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.
