What color is Benjamin Moore Fiji?
Benjamin Moore Fiji AF-525 is a medium blue with a muted, gray-leaning cast that keeps its color grounded rather than bright. Its blue-green direction is visible, especially in daylight, while lower light can make it appear deeper and more slate-like. Fiji has enough depth for a study, dining room, or powder room, and it also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with soft off-whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents to emphasize its cool, architectural quality. For contrast, warm clay, cognac leather, or brass hardware can bring out the shade’s subtle green undertone.

LRV of Fiji
Fiji has an LRV of 21.35% and refers to Medium 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 21.35%, 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.
