What color is Benjamin Moore Aventurine?
Benjamin Moore Aventurine AF-445 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow-gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its mid-tone depth gives walls color without making a room feel overly dark, especially in spaces with generous natural light. In warmer light, Aventurine can read more golden and earthy, while cooler daylight brings out its softened gray-green side. It suits kitchens, studies, mudrooms, and dining rooms, and has enough presence for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or clay-toned textiles for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Aventurine
Aventurine has an LRV of 31.55% 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 31.55%, 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.
