What color is Benjamin Moore Chicago Blues?
Benjamin Moore Chicago Blues 804 is a medium blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its blue-green lean gives it a cool, clear character, while the softened saturation makes it comfortable for larger areas. In daylight, it can appear cleaner and a touch more blue; under warm indoor lighting, the color tends to look deeper and more subdued. Use it on a study wall, powder room cabinetry, or a front door for defined color without the heaviness of navy. Crisp white trim sharpens the contrast, while pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal, and warm off-white textiles give Chicago Blues a grounded, lived-in look.

LRV of Chicago Blues
Chicago Blues has an LRV of 17.6% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.6%, 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.
