What color is Benjamin Moore Ashwood Moss?

Benjamin Moore Ashwood Moss 1484 is a deep, muted gray-green with a soft olive cast and a charcoal-like weight. Its low-saturation character keeps the green understated, so it can read almost neutral in dim rooms or on larger wall expanses. Cooler daylight brings out its gray, while warm bulbs tend to emphasize the earthy mossy undertone. Use this shade for cabinetry, a library, a dining room, or an exterior front door where a grounded dark color feels appropriate. It pairs especially well with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, black metal, and stone finishes with beige or taupe notes.

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 10.46%, 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.
