What color is Benjamin Moore Thunderbird?
Benjamin Moore Thunderbird 675 is a light, softened blue-green with a cool, airy cast and enough gray influence to keep it from reading overly bright. Its pale value makes it especially effective on bedroom, bathroom, or sunroom walls, where it can create a clean wash of color without making the room feel closed in. In daylight, Thunderbird may show more of its gentle aqua side, while lower or warmer light can bring out its muted, powdery quality. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and linen textiles for a fresh, understated palette. It also makes a pleasing cabinet or vanity color when balanced with warm white walls and natural stone.

LRV of Thunderbird
Thunderbird has an LRV of 55% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55%, 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.
