What color is Benjamin Moore Manor Blue?

Benjamin Moore Manor Blue 1627 is a light, muted blue-gray with a soft, powdery appearance. Its #ACB7C0 color value gives it a cool overall cast, tempered by enough gray to keep it from reading bright or icy. In daylight, it can appear airy and gently blue, while lower or warmer lighting may bring its gray side forward. Use Manor Blue on bedroom, bath, or living room walls where a quiet wash of color is wanted without strong saturation. It pairs naturally with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, charcoal accents, and brushed nickel or chrome finishes.

What are Benjamin Moore Manor Blue undertones?

Manor Blue is a mid-light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast and low saturation, so it reads more restrained than bright or crisp. The supplied digital color leans subtly toward blue with a slight greenish bias, though that undertone is faint and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as a stony mid-tone blue, noting that gray adds depth; visually, that gray influence softens the blue rather than changing its main blue family. Warm artificial light may make it appear a little grayer or less cool, while cool daylight can make its blue character more apparent.

LRV of Manor Blue

Manor Blue has an LRV of 46.78% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 46.78%, 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.
