What color is Benjamin Moore Intrigue?
Benjamin Moore Intrigue 1580 is a muted green-gray with a soft, weathered cast rather than a crisp botanical green. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and understated, while the slight green influence becomes more noticeable in daylight and can read grayer in lower, warmer light. Use it on bedroom or living room walls for a quiet backdrop that still has more character than standard gray. Intrigue also suits painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white walls, brushed nickel, pale oak, linen, and honed stone. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal accents or dark bronze hardware.
LRV of Intrigue
Intrigue has an LRV of 24.43% 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 24.43%, 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.
