What color is Benjamin Moore Downpour Blue?

Benjamin Moore Downpour Blue 2063-20 is a deep, blue-forward shade with a muted slate cast that keeps it from reading like a bright primary blue. Its low-to-mid brightness gives walls noticeable weight, while the restrained saturation makes the color feel grounded rather than flashy. In bright natural light, the blue becomes clearer and slightly more open; in lower light, it settles into a darker, inky blue. Use it on a dining room, study, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where a stronger color can define the architecture. Downpour Blue pairs especially well with soft white trim, pale gray-blue textiles, warm oak, aged brass, and creamy stone surfaces.

What are Benjamin Moore Downpour Blue undertones?

Downpour Blue is a deep, muted navy-leaning blue with enough saturation to read clearly as color rather than near-black. In the supplied digital sample, it shows a slight greenish bias within its blue family, which can make it feel a bit less violet or purple than some navy blues. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a navy blue with a pleasing balance of rich and muted tones,” which fits its visibly dark blue character. Warm artificial light may draw out its muted, slightly green-leaning side, while cool daylight may make the blue read cleaner and more direct.

LRV of Downpour Blue

Downpour Blue has an LRV of 7.48% 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 7.48%, 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.
