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.

What are Benjamin Moore Ewing Blue undertones?
Ewing Blue is a light, very muted blue with a soft teal-leaning cast in the supplied digital sample. Its subtle green bias is low-confidence because the color is close to neutral, so it may read as a pale blue-gray in many settings. Benjamin Moore describes it as white paint mixed with a touch of Prussian blue, which supports its visible pale blue main family rather than suggesting a strong or distinct undertone. Warm artificial light may make it appear a little softer and less blue, while cool daylight can make its blue-teal character easier to notice.

LRV of Ewing Blue
Ewing Blue has an LRV of 73.41% and refers to Off‑White 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 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.
