What color is Benjamin Moore Labrador Blue?
Benjamin Moore Labrador Blue 1670 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool blue character can read slightly softer and smokier in low or north-facing light, while daylight brings out more of its blue-green lean. Use it on bedroom or bath walls for color that feels present without becoming visually heavy. Labrador Blue pairs well with crisp off-white trim, pale weathered wood, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. It can also give built-in cabinetry or a front door a quietly defined finish.

What are Benjamin Moore Labrador Blue undertones?
Labrador Blue is a midtone, muted blue with a soft denim-like character and moderate saturation. In the supplied digital sample, it reads as blue with a slight greenward bias, which can make it feel less purple or violet than some blue paints. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “muted denim blue,” a description that fits its visibly softened blue main family rather than a bright or highly saturated look. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly grayer, softer appearance, while cool daylight can make its blue and subtle greenward cast easier to notice.

LRV of Labrador Blue
Labrador Blue has an LRV of 33.1% 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 33.1%, 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.
