What color is Benjamin Moore Alligator Alley?
Benjamin Moore Alligator Alley 441 is a muted, medium-depth olive green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its yellow-green undertone gives the color an earthy, slightly weathered look, especially in daylight. In lower light, Alligator Alley can appear deeper and more subdued, making it a strong option for a den, mudroom, or library-like office. Use it on cabinetry or an accent wall with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen-colored textiles. For contrast, pair this shade with soft clay tones, charcoal, or creamy off-whites rather than crisp blue-based whites.

What are Benjamin Moore Alligator Alley undertones?
Alligator Alley reads as a midtone, muted yellow-green with a grounded, low-saturation character. Its visible bias leans slightly olive because the green is softened by yellow rather than appearing bright or blue-leaning. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “classic forest green,” which fits its overall green family and relatively deep appearance. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-olive cast, while cool daylight can make the green direction look clearer and a little less warm.

LRV of Alligator Alley
Alligator Alley has an LRV of 15.2% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.2%, 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.
