What color is Benjamin Moore Wilmington Spruce?
Benjamin Moore Wilmington Spruce 754 is a medium blue-green with a clear teal cast and enough saturation to hold its own on a large wall. Its cool blue base is softened by green, giving it a fresh, water-like appearance rather than a dark forest-green look. In bright daylight, Wilmington Spruce reads cleaner and more turquoise, while lower or warmer light can bring forward its deeper blue-green side. It suits powder rooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, and coastal-inspired kitchens, especially on cabinetry or an accent wall. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, brushed nickel, or warm brass for contrast.

LRV of Wilmington Spruce
Wilmington Spruce has an LRV of 25.7% 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 25.7%, 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.
