What color is Benjamin Moore Adirondack Green?

Benjamin Moore Adirondack Green 453 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft olive lean. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly earthy, giving walls a grounded, natural color that still feels light enough for everyday spaces. In bright daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly greener, while lower or warmer light brings out its subdued, mossy side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and exterior siding, especially alongside warm white trim, weathered wood, aged brass, or charcoal accents. Adirondack Green also makes a considered choice for cabinetry when paired with pale stone counters and simple matte hardware.

What are Benjamin Moore Adirondack Green undertones?

Adirondack Green is a midtone, muted yellow-green with a soft, low-saturation character rather than a bright or sharply leafy look. The supplied digital color leans slightly yellow within the green family, giving it an earthy, softened cast. Benjamin Moore describes it as an “earthy and subdued” forest green, which fits its visibly restrained green character rather than suggesting a separate hidden undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-green warmth, while cool daylight can make the green read a little cleaner and less warm.

LRV of Adirondack Green

Adirondack Green has an LRV of 28.98% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 28.98%, 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.
