What color is Benjamin Moore Brittany Blue?

Benjamin Moore Brittany Blue 1633 is a pale, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than sugary. Its cool blue-green lean gives the color a lightly weathered appearance, especially on broad wall surfaces. In daylight, Brittany Blue reads airy and subdued; under warmer evening bulbs, its gray undertone may become more prominent. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces, as well as painted cabinetry paired with brushed nickel or aged brass hardware. Try it with crisp white trim, pale oak, limestone, or charcoal accents for a restrained, layered palette.

What are Benjamin Moore Brittany Blue undertones?

Brittany Blue is a light, very muted blue-gray with a subtle teal-leaning cast in the supplied digital sample. Its low saturation keeps the color soft and restrained rather than bright or strongly blue. Benjamin Moore describes it as a sky blue with a light gray undertone, which fits its visibly softened blue character rather than a crisp, clear blue. Warm artificial light may make its gray softness and slight green-blue bias more noticeable, while cool daylight can make the blue side read a little cleaner.

LRV of Brittany Blue

Brittany Blue has an LRV of 61.48% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 61.48%, 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.
