What color is Benjamin Moore Absolute Green?
Benjamin Moore Absolute Green 2043-10 is a deep, blue-leaning green with a cool teal cast and substantial visual weight. Its dark value makes it especially effective on cabinetry, a library wall, or a dining room where a more enveloping color is wanted. In bright natural light, the green and teal notes become clearer, while evening light can make it read closer to a nearly black forest-teal. Pair Absolute Green with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or cognac leather to bring contrast against its cool depth. For a bolder application, it can also give a front door or exterior shutters a crisp, grounded presence.

LRV of Absolute Green
Absolute Green has an LRV of 7.32% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 7.32%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
