What color is Benjamin Moore Lucerne?

Benjamin Moore Lucerne AF-530 is a medium-deep blue with a muted gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its blue-green lean is subtle, giving the color a slightly weathered, coastal character without reading as turquoise. In strong natural light, Lucerne appears clearer and a touch cooler; in lower light, its grayness becomes more noticeable and the shade takes on a deeper slate-blue look. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a study, or an exterior front door, while also making a composed choice for bedroom or dining room walls. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or warm stone to bring out its balanced blue tone.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 13.54%, 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.
