What color is Benjamin Moore Covington Blue?
Benjamin Moore Covington Blue HC-138 is a muted blue-green with a softly grayed cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or coastal. Its balanced mix of blue and green gives walls gentle color presence while maintaining a light, airy depth. In cooler daylight, Covington Blue may lean a little bluer, while warm lamps can bring out its quieter green undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, and it can also make a calm statement on kitchen cabinetry or a painted exterior door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, or warm brass for contrast that feels considered rather than sharp.

LRV of Covington Blue
Covington Blue has an LRV of 43.21% 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 43.21%, 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.
