What color is Benjamin Moore Fairy Tale Blue?
Benjamin Moore Fairy Tale Blue 2055-50 is a clear, medium-light blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it crisp rather than icy. Its cool blue-green character can read brighter and more playful in direct daylight, while softer indoor light may bring out its gentler, slightly muted side. It has enough saturation to hold its own on a full wall in a bathroom, child’s room, or sunlit kitchen, without becoming as intense as a true turquoise. Pair Fairy Tale Blue with clean white trim, pale sandy beige, light gray, or natural oak for a fresh contrast. On cabinetry or a painted accent piece, this shade looks especially effective alongside brushed nickel, chrome, and simple white tile.

LRV of Fairy Tale Blue
Fairy Tale Blue has an LRV of 52.43% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 52.43%, 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.
