What color is Benjamin Moore Blue Wave?
Benjamin Moore Blue Wave 2065-50 is a clear, light-to-medium blue with a noticeably cool cast and clean, lively saturation. Its color value, #6EB8E5, reads as a bright sky-blue tone rather than a muted gray-blue. In strong daylight, Blue Wave can feel especially fresh and open, while lower light may bring out its slightly deeper blue character. It suits a bathroom, laundry room, child’s room, or sunlit accent wall where a distinct wash of color is welcome. Pair it with crisp white trim, soft pale grays, or light natural wood to keep the look grounded and uncluttered.

LRV of Blue Wave
Blue Wave has an LRV of 45.63% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 45.63%, 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.
