What color is Benjamin Moore Polished Slate?
Benjamin Moore Polished Slate 713 is a muted blue-green with a dusky, medium-dark presence. Its nearly even blue and green cast gives it a cool slate character, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly nautical or bright. In daylight, this shade can show its blue-green balance clearly; lower light may make it appear deeper and more charcoal-leaning. Use Polished Slate on a study, powder room, built-in cabinetry, or an exterior door when the goal is a grounded color with noticeable depth. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale gray stone, natural oak, brushed nickel, or black metal for a clean, restrained contrast.

LRV of Polished Slate
Polished Slate has an LRV of 14.91% 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 14.91%, 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.
