What color is Benjamin Moore Chesapeake Blue?
Benjamin Moore Chesapeake Blue CW-595 is a light, softened blue with a noticeable blue-green cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading too bright, giving walls a clean wash of color rather than a sharp aqua statement. In daylight, the color can show its airy teal influence, while lower or warmer light may make it appear a little grayer and more subdued. Use Chesapeake Blue in bathrooms, bedrooms, sunrooms, or on painted furniture where its cool, watery character can be appreciated. It pairs especially well with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and sandy beige textiles.

LRV of Chesapeake Blue
Chesapeake Blue has an LRV of 48.88% 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 48.88%, 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.
