What color is Benjamin Moore Whipple Blue?
Benjamin Moore Whipple Blue HC-152 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool blue character reads clearly in natural daylight, while lower or warmer light can make the shade appear softer and more subdued. It has enough depth for a study, bedroom, or dining room, especially when paired with crisp white trim. Whipple Blue also suits painted cabinetry or an exterior front door where a calm, weathered-looking blue feels appropriate. Combine it with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and warm off-whites to give the color some contrast without making it feel stark.

LRV of Whipple Blue
Whipple Blue has an LRV of 32.37% 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 32.37%, 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.
