What color is Benjamin Moore Hamilton Blue?
Benjamin Moore Hamilton Blue HC-191 is a muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a gently weathered appearance. Its medium depth keeps it grounded, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading overly nautical or bright. In daylight, the blue character is more apparent; under warmer artificial light, it can settle into a quieter gray-blue. Use it on bedroom or study walls for a composed backdrop, or on cabinetry and built-ins where its depth adds definition without turning nearly black. Crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and soft off-white textiles give Hamilton Blue a clean, considered setting.

LRV of Hamilton Blue
Hamilton Blue has an LRV of 18.25% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.25%, 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.
