What color is Benjamin Moore Ewing Blue?

Benjamin Moore Ewing Blue CW-585 is a pale, lightly muted blue-green with a cool, airy cast. Its high lightness keeps it soft on broad walls, while the gentle green influence prevents it from reading as a straightforward icy blue. In daylight, this shade can appear clean and watery; under warmer evening lighting, its blue-green character may look a little quieter and grayer. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or sunlit kitchens where a light color is wanted without using plain white. Pair Ewing Blue with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or soft gray textiles for a restrained, coastal-leaning palette.

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 73.41%, 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.
