What color is Benjamin Moore Salamander?
Benjamin Moore Salamander 2050-10 is a deep, muted blue-green with a charcoal-like weight. Its low-saturation color value keeps it from reading bright or overtly teal, giving walls a quiet, shadowy presence instead. In bright daylight, the cool green-blue cast is more apparent; at night or in low light, it can appear nearly black. Use Salamander on cabinetry, a library, dining room walls, or a front door where a dark finish feels intentional rather than stark. Pair it with warm ivory, pale oak, aged brass, or natural stone to bring out its subtle coolness.
LRV of Salamander
Salamander has an LRV of 5.72% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5.72%, 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.
