What color is Benjamin Moore Santa Monica Blue?
Benjamin Moore Santa Monica Blue 776 is a medium-depth blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is most apparent in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out a softer, more subdued blue. Santa Monica Blue suits a study, powder room, bedroom, or built-in cabinetry where a clear but restrained color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded palette. On an exterior door or shutters, this shade offers noticeable color without the intensity of a vivid navy.

LRV of Santa Monica Blue
Santa Monica Blue has an LRV of 16.08% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.08%, 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.
