What color is Benjamin Moore Agave?
Benjamin Moore Agave AF-420 is a muted olive-khaki shade with a noticeable yellow cast and a softly weathered look. Its medium-light depth keeps it present on walls without reading as overly dark, while its restrained saturation prevents it from feeling bright green. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Agave can lean more golden and earthy; cooler light brings out its quieter gray-olive side. It suits kitchens with natural oak or walnut cabinetry, as well as dining rooms and studies layered with linen, leather, and aged brass. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm charcoal, terracotta accents, or deep brown wood for a grounded palette.

LRV of Agave
Agave has an LRV of 37.42% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.42%, 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.
