What color is Benjamin Moore Waterloo?
Benjamin Moore Waterloo CSP-555 is a medium blue with a clear, lightly muted presence that reads cool without becoming icy. Its #5F8EC2 color value suggests a balanced blue-green cast, giving it more softness than a sharply primary blue. In bright daylight, Waterloo can appear cleaner and a touch more open, while lower or warmer light may bring out its grayer, more subdued side. It has enough depth for cabinetry, a front door, or a painted bookcase, yet can also carry a bedroom or bath wall when paired with warm white trim. Try it alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, creamy whites, or natural linen textures.

LRV of Waterloo
Waterloo has an LRV of 28.06% 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 28.06%, 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.
