What color is Benjamin Moore Appalachian Green?
Benjamin Moore Appalachian Green 852 is a very light, softened green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from reading icy or gray. Its pale value gives walls an airy, lightly washed look, especially in rooms with generous daylight. In cooler north-facing light, the green may appear a little quieter and more muted, while warm bulbs bring forward its gentle leafy undertone. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms where a subtle hint of color is wanted without darkening the space. Pair Appalachian Green with creamy white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded, nature-led palette.

LRV of Appalachian Green
Appalachian Green has an LRV of 79.88% and refers to Off‑White 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 79.88%, 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.
