What color is Benjamin Moore Deep Royal?

Benjamin Moore Deep Royal 2061-10 is a dark, muted blue with a noticeable charcoal-gray cast, giving it a grounded, low-saturation appearance rather than a bright navy look. Its cool blue character is most apparent in clear daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can make it read deeper and more graphite-like. This shade has enough depth for a dramatic dining room, library, or bedroom wall, especially when balanced with pale gray, soft white, or light natural wood. On cabinetry, Deep Royal creates a strong contrast against warm brass hardware and creamy stone counters. It can also suit exterior doors or shutters where a nearly black blue feels more dimensional than plain black.

What are Benjamin Moore Deep Royal undertones?

Deep Royal reads as a very deep, muted blue with moderate saturation, close enough to black that its blue character may be most noticeable in brighter light. The supplied digital sample leans clearly blue rather than green or violet, with a restrained, near-neutral cast that keeps it from looking bright or vivid. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a dark, distinguished navy that verges on black,” which aligns with the visible blue main family and very low lightness rather than naming a separate undertone. Warm artificial light may soften and slightly mute its blue appearance, while cool daylight can make the navy direction easier to see.

LRV of Deep Royal

Deep Royal has an LRV of 5.36% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 5.36%, 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.
