Benjamin Moore

Lake Tahoe

783

Lake Tahoe is a cerulean blue with a clean, cool temperature and minimal gray interference, giving it a direct, saturated read on the wall. Its LRV of 30.35 puts it in the mid-range - dark enough to anchor a room but not so deep that it closes a space down. The blue stays true across most lighting conditions, though it can pick up slight green in fluorescent light.

It pairs effectively with Simply White, Chantilly Lace, and Gray Owl, and takes contrast well from Kendall Charcoal or Guilford Green.

Lake Tahoe 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.
