Benjamin Moore

Brush Blue

CW-675

Brush Blue is a very dark blue-black with a gray undertone. Its LRV of 9.76 indicates low reflectance, so it reads near-black in many rooms. It can be used in libraries, dining rooms, or on exterior doors where a deep blue is required.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for crisp contrast, and with Hawthorne Yellow or Rustic Brick for warm accents; Saybrook Sage or Hale Navy can keep the palette in deeper tones.

Brush Blue 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.
