What color is Benjamin Moore San Jose Blue?
Benjamin Moore San Jose Blue 741 is a medium-depth blue-green with a clear teal cast and enough saturation to hold its own on a wall. Its cool character reads clean and aquatic rather than gray, especially in daylight, while lower light can bring out its deeper blue side. Use it in a bathroom, sunroom, or dining area where a confident wash of color feels appropriate. San Jose Blue pairs well with crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel or matte black hardware. For a smaller application, it makes a lively choice for cabinetry, an interior door, or a painted accent wall.

LRV of San Jose Blue
San Jose Blue has an LRV of 28.06% 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 28.06%, 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.
