What color is Benjamin Moore Buckingham Gardens?
Benjamin Moore Buckingham Gardens 545 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast, giving it an earthy, garden-grown character. It has enough grayness to feel softened rather than bright, while its moderate depth keeps it from reading as a pale sage. In daylight, this shade can appear like a softened leaf green; warmer artificial light brings forward its mossy yellow undertone. Use it on kitchen cabinetry, a study wall, or an exterior door alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and clay-toned textiles. Deep charcoal, soft black, and dusty terracotta provide grounded contrast without competing with this color’s subdued green presence.

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.
