What color is Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue?
Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue HC-143 is a muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its light-to-medium depth gives walls noticeable color while maintaining an airy, softened look. In cooler daylight, the blue aspect may stand forward, while warmer bulbs can bring out more of its green-gray character. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and matte black details. For a layered palette, pair Wythe Blue with creamy neutrals, weathered wood, and dusty clay or muted rust accents.

LRV of Wythe Blue
Wythe Blue has an LRV of 48.11% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.11%, 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.
