What color is Benjamin Moore Stratford Blue?
Benjamin Moore Stratford Blue 831 is a muted medium blue with a clear gray cast, giving it a grounded, slightly cool appearance. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, so it can bring color to a room without dominating the furnishings. In north-facing or dim light, Stratford Blue may appear more slate-like, while warmer daylight can reveal its gentle blue character. It suits bedroom, office, and bathroom walls especially well, and also makes a measured choice for built-in cabinetry. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or soft putty-colored textiles for a clean, layered look.

LRV of Stratford Blue
Stratford Blue has an LRV of 25.1% 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 25.1%, 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.
