What color is Benjamin Moore Bunker Hill Green?

Benjamin Moore Bunker Hill Green 566 is a mid-depth green with a muted, natural cast rather than a sharp or highly saturated look. Its #5A8E5E color value reads as slightly warm, with a subtle yellow-green influence that keeps the shade grounded. On walls, it can give a mudroom, study, or dining area a defined dose of color without making the room feel overly dark. Brighter daylight may bring out its fresher green side, while lower evening light can make it appear deeper and more subdued. Pair Bunker Hill Green with warm white trim, aged brass, oak, woven textures, or charcoal accents for a room with texture and contrast. It is also a strong option for cabinetry or a painted exterior door where a medium green can hold its own against neutral siding.

LRV of Bunker Hill Green

Bunker Hill Green has an LRV of 22.92% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 22.92%, 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.
