What color is Benjamin Moore Delphinium?
Benjamin Moore Delphinium CC-872 is a deep, clear blue with a cool cast and enough muted grayness to keep it from reading overly bright. In daylight, it shows as a confident mid-to-deep blue, while lower light brings out a more navy-like depth. Delphinium is well suited to a study, dining room, bedroom, or a painted built-in where a darker color can add visual weight. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray textiles, natural oak, or warm brass hardware to create contrast against its cool blue tone. It can also make a strong statement on cabinetry or an exterior front door.

LRV of Delphinium
Delphinium has an LRV of 9.88% 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 9.88%, 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.
