What color is Benjamin Moore Westcott Navy?

Benjamin Moore Westcott Navy 1624 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a charcoal cast rather than a bright traditional navy look. Its low saturation gives it a restrained, architectural presence, with the blue becoming more apparent in clear daylight and the gray character taking over in dimmer rooms. This shade can bring useful depth to a study, dining room, or bedroom wall without reading as overly colorful. It is especially effective on cabinetry, interior doors, or a fireplace surround when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and soft stone finishes. Westcott Navy also makes a grounded exterior accent for shutters or a front door alongside lighter gray or off-white siding.

LRV of Westcott Navy

Westcott Navy has an LRV of 9.87% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 9.87%, 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.
