What color is Benjamin Moore Dolphin's Cove?
Benjamin Moore Dolphin's Cove 722 is a light, airy blue-green with a softened, gray-free clarity that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its balanced cyan cast gives walls a cool, clean look, especially in daylight or rooms with northern exposure. In warmer artificial light, the color can appear slightly gentler and more muted while retaining its blue-green character. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, and bedrooms where a pale wash of color is preferable to plain white. Pair Dolphin's Cove with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Dolphin's Cove
Dolphin's Cove has an LRV of 66.86% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 66.86%, 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.
