What color is Benjamin Moore Flower Box?
Benjamin Moore Flower Box CSP-530 is a muted blue-gray with a softened, slightly smoky cast. Its medium-light depth keeps it noticeable on walls without reading overly dark, while the blue component gives it a cool, composed presence. In daylight, Flower Box can appear clearer and more blue; under warm bulbs, its gray undertone tends to come forward. It suits bedrooms, studies, and bathrooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use this shade on full walls for a quiet color statement, or on cabinetry and built-ins where its subdued blue-gray character can add definition.

LRV of Flower Box
Flower Box has an LRV of 28.94% 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 28.94%, 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.
