What color is Benjamin Moore Barefoot in the Grass?

Benjamin Moore Barefoot in the Grass CSP-840 is a muted yellow-green with a soft, weathered cast rather than a bright botanical look. Its low-to-medium saturation gives it an earthy presence, with olive and dried-grass undertones that can read slightly warmer in afternoon light. On walls, this shade suits kitchens, mudrooms, dining rooms, and studies where natural wood, linen, and woven textures are part of the palette. Pair Barefoot in the Grass with warm off-whites, clay-toned accents, aged brass, or medium oak to emphasize its grounded character. In dimmer rooms, this color may appear more subdued and olive, so it benefits from adequate daylight or warm layered lighting.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

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.
