What color is Benjamin Moore Boca Raton Blue?

Benjamin Moore Boca Raton Blue 711 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a calm, softened presence rather than a bright coastal look. Its balanced mix of blue and green can read slightly cooler in north-facing rooms, while warmer daylight may bring out more of its gentle green side. The medium-light depth makes it a practical wall color for bedrooms, bathrooms, or a quiet home office. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel for a clean, grounded scheme. Boca Raton Blue also has enough restraint for painted cabinetry or a front door when you want color without a sharp contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Boca Raton Blue undertones?

Boca Raton Blue is a mid-light, muted teal with a balanced blue-green character rather than a bright or heavily saturated look. In the supplied digital sample, it reads slightly more green-leaning than a straightforward blue, while still clearly sitting in the teal family. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a distinctive teal shaded by hints of gray,” which matches the visibly softened, low-intensity character of the color rather than making it look purely blue or green. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly grayer or greener cast, while cool daylight can make its blue-teal side appear clearer.

LRV of Boca Raton Blue

Boca Raton Blue has an LRV of 34.65% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 34.65%, 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.
