What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Spruce?
Benjamin Moore Blue Spruce 1637 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, weathered cast and moderate depth. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly blue, giving walls a grounded slate-like appearance instead. In brighter daylight, the gray notes become more noticeable, while lower or warmer light can bring out its subdued blue-green edge. Use it in a study, bedroom, or powder room for a quiet backdrop, or on cabinetry when a darker neutral is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. Crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft stone finishes complement this shade especially well.

LRV of Blue Spruce
Blue Spruce has an LRV of 16.81% 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 16.81%, 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.
