Benjamin Moore

Azores

AF-495

Azores is a blue-green with cool undertones that keep it balanced between blue and green. Its LRV of 33.61 gives it medium depth, so it reads darker in low light and clearer in daylight. It works in bedrooms, baths, or offices where a mid-tone wall color is acceptable.

Pair it with White Dove or Simply White for trim, and add Soft Fern, Silver Marlin, or Hale Navy for coordination and contrast.

Azores in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
