What color is Benjamin Moore China Blue?
Benjamin Moore China Blue 2052-60 is a light, airy blue with a noticeable aqua cast, created by its soft green undertone. Its pale value keeps it from feeling icy, while the blue-green balance gives walls a clean, lightly washed appearance. In bright natural light, China Blue reads clearer and a touch more aquatic; under warmer indoor lighting, it can appear gentler and slightly muted. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or bedroom walls, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen. For contrast, pair this color with deeper navy accents or charcoal details rather than overly warm reds or oranges.

LRV of China Blue
China Blue has an LRV of 65.01% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 65.01%, 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.
