What color is Benjamin Moore Slate Blue?
Benjamin Moore Slate Blue 1648 is a softened blue-gray with a cool cast and a gently muted, mid-light appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading overly nautical or bright, giving walls a quiet wash of blue with noticeable gray restraint. In daylight, Slate Blue can look cleaner and airier, while warmer evening light tends to bring forward its softer gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, particularly alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. For a more grounded look, pair this shade with warm off-whites and natural linen textures rather than stark, icy whites.

LRV of Slate Blue
Slate Blue has an LRV of 43.21% 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 43.21%, 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.
