Benjamin moore van courtland blue is a fantastic grayish blue and is a pretty dark light blue in my opinion as evidenced by it s low lrv of 30 42 compared to 60 with other light blues neverthelesss if you are considering a light blue paint color and want it in a grown up part of your house van courtland blue is a favorite.
Very light blue walls.
And light blue is one of those pale colors that when painted on the walls can actually make small rooms look bigger.
Dimension and drama comes by way of sheen.
Glimmer is the lightest blue on this list with a light reflectance value lrv of 78.
Glimmer sw 6476 is a very light blue paint color that will look almost white on your walls.
This means that it will make a room appear bright and cheery.
In a well lit room glimmer will appear more white.
Sterling 1591 is a cool gray that s super neutral.
It s just the way the light reflects on it.
In this bedroom for example warm neutrals supplied by wood floors a cowhide rug and accents made from natural materials help balance the cool tones of the steel blue walls.
Lustrous semi gloss on the ceiling scatters light.
This color is a bit tricky as it reads gray on the paint chip but in real like it looks a bit more blue than gray once it s on the walls.
By its very nature blue is a cool color as seen in yarmouth blue hc 150 and van deusen blue hc 156.
