What color is Benjamin Moore River Blue?

Benjamin Moore River Blue 2057-10 is a deep blue-green with a cool, shaded character and a noticeably earthy cast. Its dark value gives walls strong definition, while the restrained saturation keeps it from reading as a bright nautical blue. In daylight, River Blue can show more of its teal-green side; under warm evening lighting, it tends to look darker and more blue-black. It is especially effective on dining room walls, built-in cabinetry, a front door, or a powder room where a richer color can be used generously. Pair it with soft warm whites, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or natural linen to bring out its depth without making the room feel heavy.

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 7.27%, 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.
