What color is Benjamin Moore Light Blue?
Benjamin Moore Light Blue 2066-70 is a pale, clear blue with a noticeable aqua-cyan cast rather than a gray or lavender undertone. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the cool hue still reads distinctly blue in daylight. In north-facing rooms, this shade may appear crisper and slightly icier; warmer afternoon light can soften its watery quality. Use it in bathrooms, children’s rooms, sunrooms, or on a painted ceiling for a light, open look. Pair Light Blue with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, soft sand tones, or deeper navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Light Blue
Light Blue has an LRV of 75.55% and refers to Off‑White 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 75.55%, 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.
