What color is Benjamin Moore Pool Blue?
Benjamin Moore Pool Blue 2052-50 is a light blue with a noticeable cyan cast, landing closer to clear pool water than to a muted gray-blue. Its clean, moderately bright color reads cool on the wall, while the softened saturation keeps it from feeling overly sharp. In bright daylight, Pool Blue can look fresh and airy; lower or warmer light may bring out a gentler blue-green quality. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, children’s rooms, or a painted accent wall where a crisp wash of color is wanted. Pair it with clean white trim, pale natural woods, sandy beige textiles, or deep navy details for contrast.

LRV of Pool Blue
Pool Blue has an LRV of 48.35% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.35%, 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.
