BM Old Navy is a true navy blue that only has the slightest hint of an indigo-purple undertone. Since this highly pigmented blue paint retains its blue appearance most of the time, BM Old Navy is probably the most reliable blue of all Benjamin Moore’s navy shades.

Despite being a very dark shade of navy, it nevertheless lacks the gray undertones that navy blues often have. Also, BM Old Navy will not turn green or teal in warm light, unlike most of its navy blue “cousins”.

However, due to the presence of a very slight purplish hue, in some circumstances, this color may show a bit of a purplish-blue undertone!

LRV of BM Old Navy Paint Color

LRV is an essential feature one should know about the paint color before using it. LRV stands for the Light Reflectance Value, and it shows how much light a color can reflect when it is applied to the wall.

Traditionally, an LRV scale ranges from zero to 100, where zero stands for black, and 100 stands for pure white. Respectively, the higher the LRV value, the lighter the color you have.

The LRV value of BM Old Navy is 5, which means this blue is very dark. At the same time, it is not dark enough to read black-like on the walls. In rooms with bright (and especially cool) daylight, this dark blue will still show enough color, reading cool-toned navy with a prominent indigo hue.

But in warmer artificial light, BM Old Navy may read deeper and slightly darker. Nevertheless, you will always see its beautiful navy blue tone no matter the lighting conditions.
