What color is Benjamin Moore Evening Blue?
Benjamin Moore Evening Blue 2066-20 is a deep, saturated blue with a clear cool cast and substantial visual weight. Its strong blue pigment reads crisp and energetic in daylight, while lower light brings out a darker, more dramatic appearance. Use Evening Blue on an office wall, powder room, built-in shelving, or a front door where its intensity can be a focal point. It pairs especially well with clean warm whites, soft gray neutrals, natural oak, and brass or aged bronze hardware. For a larger room, balance this color with pale flooring and light upholstery so the blue remains bold without making the space feel closed in.

LRV of Evening Blue
Evening Blue has an LRV of 9.55% 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 9.55%, 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.
