What color is Benjamin Moore Fair Isle Blue?

Benjamin Moore Fair Isle Blue CSP-715 is a muted blue-green with a distinctly deep, weathered cast. Its #496E73 color value reads as a soft teal blue rather than a bright coastal aqua, with enough grayness to keep the color grounded. On walls, it can give a powder room, study, or bedroom a shaded, enveloping look; brighter daylight will bring out more of its blue-green character, while low light makes it appear deeper and smokier. Fair Isle Blue is especially effective on cabinetry or a front door when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen. For contrast, use it alongside clay-toned accents, warm putty neutrals, or creamy off-whites rather than sharp, icy whites.

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 15.58%, 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.
