What color is Benjamin Moore Hudson Bay?
Benjamin Moore Hudson Bay 1680 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a noticeable slate cast. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading as bright navy, giving walls a grounded, architectural look instead. In brighter daylight, the blue character is clearer, while lower light can pull it closer to charcoal-gray. Use Hudson Bay on a study, dining room, or built-in cabinetry with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen to bring out its balanced contrast. It also makes a strong exterior accent for shutters or a front door beside light stone or soft off-white siding.

LRV of Hudson Bay
Hudson Bay has an LRV of 9.77% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.77%, 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.
