What color is Benjamin Moore Fairview Blue?
Benjamin Moore Fairview Blue 779 is a light, cool blue with a clean, airy cast and a gentle hint of aqua. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the noticeable blue pigment gives it more presence than an off-white or barely-there pastel. In bright daylight, Fairview Blue can look crisp and open; under warmer evening bulbs, it may soften toward a quieter powder-blue appearance. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit living spaces where a fresh wall color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with clear white trim, pale oak, light gray stone, or brushed nickel for a clean, lightly coastal palette.

LRV of Fairview Blue
Fairview Blue has an LRV of 62.38% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 62.38%, 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.
