What color is Benjamin Moore Caribbean Azure?
Benjamin Moore Caribbean Azure 2059-20 is a deep, saturated blue with a noticeable blue-green cast drawn from its rich #00567C color value. It reads cool and substantial on walls, especially in a powder room, dining room, or home office where a darker color can feel intentional rather than overpowering. In strong daylight, its teal-leaning undertone becomes clearer, while lower light brings out its inky, shadowed depth. Use it on cabinetry or an accent wall with soft white trim, pale oak, warm brass, or woven natural materials to keep the scheme from feeling too cool.

LRV of Caribbean Azure
Caribbean Azure has an LRV of 9.96% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.96%, 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.
