What color is Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue?

Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue HC-144 is a light, muted blue-green with a gentle gray cast that keeps it from looking overly sweet or bright. Its cool-leaning color value can appear a little greener in warm daylight, while cooler artificial light may bring out its soft blue side. This shade has enough softness for full-room walls in bathrooms, bedrooms, or sunlit living areas without creating a heavy color block. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or warm cream textiles to give the color more definition. Palladian Blue also suits cabinetry or a painted ceiling when the surrounding finishes are simple and lightly toned.

What are Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue undertones?

Palladian Blue reads as a light, very muted blue-green with a soft, low-saturation appearance. In the supplied digital sample, the color leans subtly green rather than strongly blue, though that bias is slight and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “soft, airy blue-green,” which matches the visible blend of blue and green rather than suggesting a separate hidden undertone. Warm artificial light may make its green and yellow-leaning cast more noticeable, while cool daylight can make the blue side appear clearer.

LRV of Palladian Blue

Palladian Blue has an LRV of 60.4% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.4%, 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.
