What color is Benjamin Moore Wetherburn's Blue?

Benjamin Moore Wetherburn's Blue CW-580 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth gives walls definition without making a room feel heavily saturated, while the softened teal character becomes clearer in daylight. In lower or warmer light, this shade can read more like a weathered blue-gray. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or natural linen. For contrast, pair Wetherburn's Blue with creamy off-whites and deeper charcoal-toned accents rather than crisp, icy whites.

What are Benjamin Moore Wetherburn's Blue undertones?

The supplied digital sample reads as a muted, medium-depth teal-blue with low saturation. Its undertone is best described as a subtle green bias within the overall blue family, rather than a strong or separate green color. Benjamin Moore describes Wetherburn’s Blue as “blue with a touch of green,” which fits the sample’s blue-led appearance and slight green cast. Warm artificial light may make its blue look less pronounced, while cool daylight can make the blue-teal character appear clearer.

LRV of Wetherburn's Blue

Wetherburn's Blue has an LRV of 23.6% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.6%, 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.
