What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Harbor?
Benjamin Moore Dark Harbor CSP-720 is a deep blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and softened, low-key saturation. Its dark value gives it enough weight for a study, dining room, powder room, or built-in cabinetry, where it can read as nearly charcoal teal in low light. Brighter daylight brings out more of its blue-green character without making the color feel bright. Pair Dark Harbor with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or saddle-toned leather to add contrast against its cool depth. On an exterior door or shutters, this shade has a grounded presence beside off-white siding, stone, or weathered wood.
LRV of Dark Harbor
Dark Harbor has an LRV of 7.72% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.72%, 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.
