What color is Benjamin Moore Bavarian Forest?

Benjamin Moore Bavarian Forest 2054-10 is a deep blue-green with a distinctly cool, shadowy cast. Its #1D4543 color value gives it enough saturation to read clearly as green-teal rather than near-black, though it can look darker in low light. Use it on cabinetry, a dining room, or a library-like office where its depth can ground pale wood, warm brass, and creamy off-white finishes. On a larger wall, Bavarian Forest benefits from good natural or layered lighting to keep its blue-green character visible. Pair it with soft putty, warm white, terracotta, or natural oak for contrast that feels considered rather than stark.

LRV of Bavarian Forest

Bavarian Forest has an LRV of 6.66% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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 6.66%, 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.
