What color is Benjamin Moore Brazilian Rainforest?
Benjamin Moore Brazilian Rainforest 651 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable blue-teal cast. Its low-light depth gives walls a grounded look, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright or sharp. In daylight, Brazilian Rainforest can show more of its cool green character; under warm lamps, it may appear darker and slightly more subdued. It is especially effective on cabinetry, a study wall, or a powder room where a richer color can define the space. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or creamy stone for contrast.

LRV of Brazilian Rainforest
Brazilian Rainforest has an LRV of 10.04% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.04%, 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.
