What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Macaw?
Benjamin Moore Blue Macaw 784 is a clear mid-tone blue with a cool, lightly teal-leaning cast. Its noticeable saturation gives it enough presence for an accent wall, painted built-ins, or a front door, while its medium depth keeps it from reading overly dark. Bright daylight brings out its crisp blue character, whereas lower or warmer light can make it appear deeper and slightly more muted. Pair it with clean white trim, pale gray, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or natural linen for a grounded contrast. In a bathroom, office, or coastal-inspired exterior detail, Blue Macaw adds defined color without the heaviness of navy.

LRV of Blue Macaw
Blue Macaw has an LRV of 18.2% 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 18.2%, 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.
