What color is Benjamin Moore Majestic Blue?
Benjamin Moore Majestic Blue 2051-40 is a medium blue-green with a softened, slightly grayed cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool cyan-leaning character is especially clear in daylight, while warmer evening lighting can make the color appear more muted and subtly greener. Use it on bedroom or bathroom walls for noticeable color without the intensity of a deep navy, or on cabinetry when paired with pale wood and brushed nickel. Crisp white trim gives Majestic Blue a clean outline, while warm ivory, sand, and light oak help temper its cooler edge.

LRV of Majestic Blue
Majestic Blue has an LRV of 31.24% 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 31.24%, 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.
