What color is Benjamin Moore Paddington Blue?
Benjamin Moore Paddington Blue 791 is a clear, medium-depth blue with a crisp, noticeably saturated presence. Its #1369A7 color value reads cool and clean, bringing a strong blue statement without drifting into navy. In bright daylight, it can appear lively and slightly brighter, while lower light gives it a deeper, more grounded look. Use it on a powder room wall, built-in shelving, or a front door when the room needs a defined hit of color. White trim keeps the contrast fresh, while pale gray, light oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen help temper its intensity.

LRV of Paddington Blue
Paddington Blue has an LRV of 16.01% 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 16.01%, 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.
