What color is Benjamin Moore Harlequin Blue?
Benjamin Moore Harlequin Blue 830 is a softened blue-gray with a light to medium depth and a noticeably muted finish. Its gray cast keeps the blue from reading bright or sugary, giving walls a calm, slightly cool appearance. In daylight, the color can look clearer and airier, while lower or warmer lighting may bring its gray side forward. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Harlequin Blue also makes a measured choice for cabinetry or a painted built-in when a stronger neutral is needed without moving into dark navy.

LRV of Harlequin Blue
Harlequin Blue has an LRV of 38.31% 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 38.31%, 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.
