What color is Benjamin Moore Everard Blue?

Benjamin Moore Everard Blue CW-575 is a deep, muted blue-green with a pronounced gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool, low-saturation character can read as a dark slate teal on walls, with the blue-green notes becoming clearer in stronger natural light. In dimmer rooms, this color takes on a more shadowed, near-charcoal presence, so it suits spaces with good daylight or intentional layered lighting. Use Everard Blue on cabinetry, a library wall, a powder room, or exterior trim alongside warm white, soft greige, pale oak, aged brass, and natural stone. For contrast, pair it with creamy plaster tones or lighter blue-grays rather than crisp, icy whites.

LRV of Everard Blue

Everard Blue has an LRV of 10.31% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.31%, 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.
