What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Hydrangea?
Benjamin Moore Blue Hydrangea 2062-60 is a light, cool blue with a soft, slightly muted cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its pale blue character can make a small bathroom, laundry room, or bedroom feel more open without turning the walls stark. In daylight, Blue Hydrangea looks crisp and airy, while warm artificial lighting can bring out its gentler, powdery side. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or light gray textiles for a fresh, understated palette. It is especially well suited to broad wall areas, where its low-key saturation gives the room color without visual heaviness.

LRV of Blue Hydrangea
Blue Hydrangea has an LRV of 61.76% 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 61.76%, 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.
