Ol' Blue Eyes by Benjamin Moore is a saturated azure with a distinctly cool temperature and an LRV of 14.28, placing it in the low-reflectance category. This deep blue absorbs significant light, making it best suited for accent walls, home offices, or rooms where a strong color statement is intended rather than open-feeling spaces. Its pure blue base carries minimal green or violet shift, reading as a direct mid-navy azure.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's Simply White and Pale Oak for tonal relief, while Waterfall and Blue Seafoam provide analogous transitions, and Kendall Charcoal adds depth.

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.
