What color is Benjamin Moore Wild Blue Yonder?

Benjamin Moore Wild Blue Yonder CSP-620 is a muted blue-gray with a gently weathered look. Its medium depth keeps it present on a wall without reading overly dark, while the gray cast softens the blue and gives it a grounded, slightly cool character. In bright daylight, this color can appear cleaner and more blue; under warm indoor lighting, its gray influence becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, as well as painted cabinetry where a softer alternative to navy is wanted. Pair Wild Blue Yonder with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Wild Blue Yonder undertones?

Wild Blue Yonder reads as a midtone, muted blue with a soft gray cast and low saturation. In the supplied digital sample, the blue leans very slightly toward green, though that bias is subtle and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “dimensional, unleashed blue,” which fits its visibly blue main color family without defining a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may make it appear a little grayer or less crisp, while cool daylight can bring out its blue character more clearly.

LRV of Wild Blue Yonder

Wild Blue Yonder has an LRV of 26.97% 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 26.97%, 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.
