What color is Benjamin Moore Woodlawn Blue?

Benjamin Moore Woodlawn Blue HC-147 is a light, muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than bright. Its cool-leaning appearance can read a little bluer in shaded rooms and slightly greener beside warm daylight or creamy trim. The low saturation makes it especially well suited to bedroom, bathroom, and living-room walls where a clear pastel might feel too sweet. Pair Woodlawn Blue with warm white, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen to bring out its understated blue-green character. It can also make a quiet statement on cabinetry or a painted interior door against off-white walls.

What are Benjamin Moore Woodlawn Blue undertones?

This sample reads as a light, very muted blue-green with a soft gray cast rather than a strong, saturated blue. Its subtle undertone is a relative green bias, which may be easier to notice beside cleaner blues or neutrals. Benjamin Moore describes Woodlawn Blue as “a delicate wash of blue,” a description that fits its overall cool blue-green character, even though the supplied digital sample leans slightly green. Warm artificial light may make it appear a bit grayer or less blue, while cool daylight can make the blue-green cast more noticeable.

LRV of Woodlawn Blue

Woodlawn Blue has an LRV of 60.65% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 60.65%, 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.
