What color is Benjamin Moore Schooner?
Benjamin Moore Schooner AF-520 is a medium blue with a muted, lightly gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its blue-green lean gives the color a weathered coastal quality, especially in daylight, where the teal note becomes more apparent. In lower or warmer light, Schooner can read deeper and slightly more subdued. It is well suited to a study, powder room, dining room, or built-in cabinetry where a stronger wall color feels appropriate. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal, or warm tan leather for contrast that lets its cool blue character stand out.

LRV of Schooner
Schooner has an LRV of 18.13% 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 18.13%, 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.
