What color is Benjamin Moore Lake Tahoe?
Benjamin Moore Lake Tahoe 783 is a clear, medium blue with a lightly cyan cast that keeps it feeling crisp rather than navy or powdery. Its cool character is noticeable, but the color has enough saturation to hold its own on a full wall, a painted door, or exterior siding. In daylight, Lake Tahoe reads brighter and more open; under warmer artificial light, its blue tone can appear a little deeper and less icy. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray stone, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded look. It is especially effective in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and coastal-inspired entryways where a distinct blue is wanted without going overly dark.

LRV of Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe has an LRV of 30.35% 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 30.35%, 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.
