What color is Benjamin Moore Annapolis Green?
Benjamin Moore Annapolis Green 687 is a light, muted green with a noticeable blue-gray cast, giving it a softly weathered appearance. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the low saturation prevents it from reading overly minty or bright. In daylight, Annapolis Green can lean cooler and clearer; warmer bulbs may bring out its gentle gray-green side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry where a quiet wash of color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, light oak, brushed nickel, limestone, or charcoal accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Annapolis Green
Annapolis Green has an LRV of 61.34% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 61.34%, 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.
