What color is Benjamin Moore Stratton Blue?
Benjamin Moore Stratton Blue HC-142 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a softened, medium-light appearance. Its green undertone keeps it from reading like a straightforward blue, while the restrained saturation makes it feel grounded rather than bright. In daylight, Stratton Blue can show more of its airy green-gray side; under warmer bulbs, it may appear a little quieter and more neutral. It suits bedroom walls, bathrooms, mudrooms, or painted cabinetry where a calm but visible color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a layered, unfussy look.

LRV of Stratton Blue
Stratton Blue has an LRV of 37.77% 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 37.77%, 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.
