What color is Benjamin Moore Nile Blue?
Benjamin Moore Nile Blue CSP-560 is a medium-depth blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is noticeable, though the softened saturation gives it a grounded, livable look on larger wall areas. In daylight, Nile Blue appears clearer and more blue-forward; lower or warmer light can bring out its quieter, slate-like side. It suits studies, bedrooms, bathrooms, and dining rooms, and can also make a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or warm brass for contrast.

LRV of Nile Blue
Nile Blue has an LRV of 18.14% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.14%, 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.
