What color is Benjamin Moore Hemlock?

Benjamin Moore Hemlock 719 is a muted blue-gray with a noticeable green cast, giving it the look of weathered sea glass rather than a crisp, icy blue. Its medium depth keeps it present on the wall without making a room feel dark, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading too brightly. In cool daylight, Hemlock can appear cleaner and bluer; warmer lamps tend to pull forward its gray-green undertone. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or honed stone. For contrast, pair this color with deep charcoal, inky navy, or a clay-toned accent.

LRV of Hemlock

Hemlock has an LRV of 28.89% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 28.89%, 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.
