What color is Benjamin Moore Electric Blue?
Benjamin Moore Electric Blue 2061-40 is a clear, medium-depth blue with a noticeable blue-green cast that keeps it crisp rather than inky. Its lively saturation makes it especially effective on a powder room wall, painted bookcase, front door, or a single accent wall in a contemporary living space. In strong daylight, this shade reads brighter and cleaner; in lower light, it takes on a deeper, cooler character. Pair Electric Blue with clean white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or brushed nickel for a fresh contrast. For a warmer counterpoint, use natural leather, sandy beige textiles, or muted terracotta accessories.

LRV of Electric Blue
Electric Blue has an LRV of 27.68% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27.68%, 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.
