What color is Benjamin Moore Harbor Side Blue?
Benjamin Moore Harbor Side Blue 740 is a clear mid-tone blue with a noticeable aqua-green cast, giving it a crisp, water-inspired appearance. Its moderate brightness keeps it lively on walls without reading overly dark or heavy. In cool daylight, Harbor Side Blue can appear cleaner and more blue-forward, while warmer lamps may draw out its greener side. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, or a cheerful front door, especially alongside white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, and brushed nickel. For a more graphic look, pair this color with deep navy accents or matte black hardware.

LRV of Harbor Side Blue
Harbor Side Blue has an LRV of 40.31% 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 40.31%, 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.
