What color is Benjamin Moore Marine Blue?
Benjamin Moore Marine Blue 2059-10 is a deep, muted blue with a cool, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its dark value gives walls a grounded, almost inky look, while stronger daylight brings out more of its blue character. Use it in a study, dining room, or powder room when you want color with noticeable depth, or reserve it for cabinetry and built-ins against lighter walls. Marine Blue pairs well with warm white trim, soft greige, pale stone, natural oak, and brushed brass accents. In low light, this shade can appear especially dark, so it benefits from layered lighting and lighter surrounding finishes.

LRV of Marine Blue
Marine Blue has an LRV of 6.15% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.15%, 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.
