What color is Benjamin Moore Salzburg Blue?
Benjamin Moore Salzburg Blue 755 is a medium-deep blue-green with a noticeable teal cast, based on its #2C8392 color value. It reads cool and clean, but the green influence keeps it from feeling like a straightforward navy or cobalt. In bright daylight, Salzburg Blue can appear clearer and more turquoise-leaning, while lower light may bring out its deeper blue side. It has enough saturation for a powder room, built-in bookcase, or kitchen island, and can also hold its own on an exterior door. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or brushed nickel for a fresh, grounded contrast.

LRV of Salzburg Blue
Salzburg Blue has an LRV of 20.99% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.99%, 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.
