What color is Benjamin Moore Philipsburg Blue?
Benjamin Moore Philipsburg Blue HC-159 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, lightly weathered cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright or nautical, giving walls a grounded color presence without becoming overly dark. In daylight, Philipsburg Blue shows its blue character more clearly, while warm interior lighting can bring forward its gray undertone. It suits studies, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents. On an exterior, this shade can give shutters or a front door a reserved blue note against creamy siding or natural stone.

LRV of Philipsburg Blue
Philipsburg Blue has an LRV of 19.06% 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 19.06%, 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.
