What color is Benjamin Moore Santorini Blue?
Benjamin Moore Santorini Blue 1634 is a soft, muted blue-gray with a lightly cool cast and restrained saturation. Its #A2B4BA color value gives it enough gray to read as calm and grounded rather than bright or overtly nautical. In daylight, the blue note is likely to feel clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can draw out its softened gray quality. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or living room walls with crisp white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel finishes. Santorini Blue can also make a quiet statement on cabinetry or a front door when paired with warm off-whites and natural stone.

LRV of Santorini Blue
Santorini Blue has an LRV of 44.67% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 44.67%, 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.
