What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Toile?

Benjamin Moore Blue Toile 748 is a softened blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, sitting at a comfortable mid-tone depth. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, while the cool undertone gives it a clean, lightly coastal character. In daylight, Blue Toile can appear clearer and slightly more aqua; under warmer bulbs, it tends to settle into a dustier blue. Use it on bedroom or bathroom walls for color without heaviness, or on painted cabinetry paired with pale oak, white tile, brushed nickel, and warm ivory. For contrast, it also looks especially crisp beside deep navy accents or charcoal details.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 29.48%, 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.
