What color is Benjamin Moore Chiswell Blue?
Benjamin Moore Chiswell Blue CW-660 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, lightly weathered cast. Its medium depth keeps it present on a wall without making a room feel dark, while the softened saturation gives it a calm, practical look. In daylight, Chiswell Blue reads as a restrained slate blue; under warm evening lighting, its gray side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and bathrooms, as well as painted cabinetry where a quiet color contrast is wanted. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm linen textiles.

LRV of Chiswell Blue
Chiswell Blue has an LRV of 29.52% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.52%, 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.
