What color is Benjamin Moore Greenhow Blue?
Benjamin Moore Greenhow Blue CW-655 is a light, muted blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool character is clear, though the pale value gives it an open, lightly weathered appearance rather than a crisp icy look. In daylight, Greenhow Blue can feel airy and clean; under warmer interior lighting, its gray-blue side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedroom, bathroom, and living room walls, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper navy accents, charcoal details, or warm off-whites.

LRV of Greenhow Blue
Greenhow Blue has an LRV of 55.45% 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 55.45%, 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.
