What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Lapis?
Benjamin Moore Blue Lapis 2067-40 is a clear mid-tone blue with a noticeable cool cast and enough brightness to keep it from feeling heavy. Its #6289C6 color value reads as a softened azure blue, sitting between classic blue and a lightly muted cornflower tone. On bedroom or bath walls, Blue Lapis brings crisp color without the visual weight of a deep navy; in brighter rooms, it appears cleaner and more open, while lower light gives it a slightly grayer, quieter look. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or tan woven textures to offset its coolness. It also makes a strong choice for a painted bookcase, kitchen island, or front door when a full room of blue feels like too much.

LRV of Blue Lapis
Blue Lapis has an LRV of 27.49% 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 27.49%, 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.
