What color is Benjamin Moore Baby Turtle?
Benjamin Moore Baby Turtle 515 is a muted khaki-beige with a noticeable yellow-green cast beneath its softened grayness. Its mid-light depth gives walls gentle definition without making a room feel dark or overly golden. In bright daylight, Baby Turtle can read as a faded olive tan, while lower or warmer light brings out its earthy beige side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and living areas where natural wood, aged brass, linen, and woven textures are already part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, or warm brown furniture for a grounded, layered look.

LRV of Baby Turtle
Baby Turtle has an LRV of 39.61% 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 39.61%, 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.
