What color is Benjamin Moore Williamsburg Wythe Blue?
Benjamin Moore Williamsburg Wythe Blue CW-590 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a softly weathered, mid-tone appearance. Its cool lean is tempered by the subdued saturation, so it reads more grounded than bright or coastal. In bright daylight, Williamsburg Wythe Blue can show its blue-green character more clearly, while lower light may draw out its grayness. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry where a calm but visible color is wanted. Pair this shade with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or soft clay-toned textiles for contrast.
LRV of Williamsburg Wythe Blue
Williamsburg Wythe Blue has an LRV of 33.4% 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 33.4%, 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.
